It's a local paper I subscribe too. They cover all motorsports with an emphasis on DIRT modifieds and local short tracks. It sometimes irks me that they try to put as many accidents as possible on the front page every week. What's your opinion of this cover? What if every week the cover looked basically the same - two or three big wrecks. And keep in mind this paper is displayed rather prominently in local convenience stores and newspaper stands. If you weren't a racing fan and walked by this paper every week in the store what would you think?
I read Paul's post about reasons Nascar draws criticism. Do you think magazine covers like this hurt the sport? Help the sport? Or am I just overanalyzing?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not upset or trying to stir the pot or make a mole hill into a mountain. I've subscribed to the magazine for years and will continue to do so. I just think they could do a better job of choosing pics for the front page. To me this cover is not representative of the past weekend's racing events, be they local, national or international in nature.
