Photoshop Action
German paper
Tageszeitung is lauded for its witty headlines. Evidently, their photo team doesn't get enough credit. The paper featured a clever image showing one of
his classic crazy outfits with the face conveniently removed. Symbolism is a dying art in daily news -- but
Tageszeitung executes it perfectly.
Love for the Locals
Leave it to the New York Post to serve up a little irreverence. It's practically their legacy. They seem overjoyed about the fact that the alleged shooter of Gaddafi did so wearing a pinstriped hat. Brings the news just a bit closer to home.
Death Comes
New York's other tabloid, the Daily News, proudly splays the grainy, pixelated shot of a bloody Gaddafi across the front page. A photo editor's nightmare, but it's what we want to see, right?
A Fitting Ending?
South African newspaper The Times keeps no secrets about Gaddafi's capture and killing. They proudly show the drainpipe where the Libyan ruler was allegedly hiding out.
Getting Revenge
UK newspaper The Sun justifies showing the bloody dictator by stirring up memories of Gaddafi's biggest attacks on the West. An eye for an eye?
Pun and Games
From Morocco, Au Fait riffs off their selected spelling of Gaddafi's name, realizing that the addition of an n could quite literally spell end for the Libyan dictator.
Darkness for the Dictator
The Gray Lady notes the violent end in their headline but chooses a tamer (read: less gruesome) picture for the front page.
Mere Shadows
Silhouetting the dead dictator as if he were fading away, New Jersey-based Star-Ledger frames the headshot with photos from the fateful day. But naturally, the man known as "frizz head" is instantly recognizable.
Satisfied in Sirt
After months of fighting, the prevailing attitude was one of celebration. Libyans are free of their 42-year autocrat. Better than seeing blood and gore is seeing a people finally liberated.
A Different Celebration
Even with the Texas Rangers' clutch win Thursday night, news of Gaddafi's death still manages to take a prime position on page 1 of the Dallas Morning News. Though we doubt that the team was celebrating the dictator's demise.
Before and After
The National, hailing from the United Arab Emirates, juxtaposes the images of Gaddafi's rise and fall. No striking smile at the end -- just a striking blow from his people.
Down On His Luck
From the Czech Republic, Lidove Novi shows what roughly translates to "humiliating end" for the larger-than-life Gaddafi.
No Name
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review chooses to keep the deposed dictator nameless, but his identity is no secret. The newspaper describes Gaddafi's fate using President Reagan's legacy nickname for the former Libyan leader.
