Down on Wall Street

The Phillies win over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series kept a photo of the latest drop in the Dow off the Inquirer's front page today, but a quick glance at newspapers around the country shows what it could have looked like.

I put this collage together with images from the Newseum's daily collection of newspaper front pages. It's been this way most days since Wall Street has been on the brink of panic. I go to this site every once in a while, especially on a national story, to either see if everyone uses the exact same photo (this one by the AP's Richard Drew) or whether they all use different ones. Of course, that's one reason newspapers have staff photographers cover the news.

Want more economic photos? There's a blog out there, "Turning the economic crisis into one of those clever internet memes," created by an ad agency art director in Kansas City with pages after pages of...well, the name of the blog is Sad Guys on Trading Floors.

And don't forget to check out our images from the playoffs and individual player galleries on philly.com's new Phillies photos page. It will be updated throughout the NLCS, so keep checking after Game 2, all weekend - and through the World Series!
