Paper Monitor

12:31 UK time, Thursday, 1 September 2011

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

There is no sign more clearly indicating a general absence of news than every single paper running with a different main story on its front page.

Thus runs Paper Monitor's First Law of Newspaper Splash Dynamics.

We're nearly but not quite there today. Guardian: Gurkhas and RAF suffering in defence cuts. Indy: Big Tobacco trying to get hold of a university's data on young smokers. Daily Mail: Anarchists stopping traveller eviction. Daily Express: Lower interest rates. Daily Mirror: Vaguely famous woman still loves "love rat" ex-fiance. Daily Star: Jedward trash BB house.

Only the Times and Daily Telegraph spoil a clean sweep by agreeing that trouble over new planning laws is the biggest deal in town.

Conclusion: At least in newspaper editors' eyes, not much is going on in the world today.

It's perhaps fortunate that today is a wrong-way-round day in newspapers. Yesterday was the end of the football transfer window and therefore today is one that must leave newsagents tempted to turn the newspapers over on their displays.

They never do though.
