Newsweek's cover |
My normally cheery disposition turned sour when I noticed, with mounting incredulity, the Newsweek cover (right) that uses image manipulation technology to bring Princess Diana back from the dead and place her walking down a street alongside the former Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge. I am not easily shocked, but I found this more tasteless than anything I can remember seeing in a mainstream publication. No amount of Photoshopping will bring Newsweek back from the dead if editor Tina Brown continues to drive a blunt stake through its once-proud heart with creepy, crude and cruel
sensationalism like this.
