TAKEAWAY: It is national and international story, but for Colorado newspapers, it is very local and very regional: we take a look at how newspapers in that state cover the theater massacre that left 12 dead and dozens injured.
A story that is likely to stay on front page for a long time
I am following with interest how the newspapers in the state of Colorado cover follow ups of what has to be the most significant news event of the year in that part of the country, the massacre that occurred last Friday when a man walked into a crowded theater and started shooting, killing 12 persons and injuring more than 50.
While some of the newspapers you see here lead with follow ups of the story on their front pages, others have started to lead with other stories, but keeping the massacre story as a secondary element on page one.
Here are some of those front pages. When a major story like this breaks, people turn to the media for information, and answers. Newspapers in Colorado seem to be doing a good job of keeping their readers informed.
