WBNS | OSU LanternThe day after Ohio State lost its championship game, the student newspaper ran a
front page photo of firefighters battling billowing smoke with the hed, "It could be worse," which some readers thought was a 9/11 reference. Editor
Gerrick Lewis says it was a photo of a fire in South Korea that claimed no lives. "I think the thing I'm having the hardest time with is that people think a student newspaper would go there, and we wouldn't." ||
Editor's note: "When we see smoke and firefighters, do our minds automatically assume
it is Sept. 11? Isn't the end goal of terrorism for us to continue to
live in fear and associate every image with that day?"
