			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Front page, top centre, of yesterday&#8217;s <i>Telegraph</i>, a large colour photograph of a man and a woman, with the prominent title &#8220;Premier League boss&#8217;s brothel visit&#8221;.</p>
<p>It takes until the middle of the text underneath &#8211; there&#8217;s no caption as such, and it&#8217;s below the fold &#8211; to clarify that this is him &#8220;pictured with his wife&#8221; rather than, say, photographic evidence for the story. Not the most well-thought-out move, there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just dealt with a pile of today&#8217;s and yesterday&#8217;s newspapers.</p>
<p>The <i>Guardian</i>, the <i>Times</i> and the <i>Independent</i>, both days: large full-colour photograph of Haiti on the front page as the main headline story, four inside pages of coverage (six in today&#8217;s <i>Independent</i>, and a few more in the second section of today&#8217;s <i>Guardian</i>) plus a scattering of editorials or leader articles.</p>
<p>The <i>Telegraph</i> and the <i>Financial Times</i>, both days: Haiti prominent, but other headline stories as well. One or two inside pages; the <i>Telegraph</i> also runs a background feature on Haiti&#8217;s history.</p>
<p>And, then, the <i>Daily Mail</i>: two inside pages each day, no front-page mention. The stories that displaced it, you&#8217;ll be pleased to know, were <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8458004.stm">Gary McKinnon getting judicial review</a>, and <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8456323.stm">some research on a possible Alzheimers test</a>; the front-page <i>photographs</i> were of Kate McCann and Beyoncé.</p>
<p>I shouldn&#8217;t be surprised by this, but, really. The only element of it that doesn&#8217;t seem like self-parody is that neither story was about Labour incompetence causing a crash in house prices.</p>
