Business dominated headlines of the decade

By Robin J Phillips on Dec 21, 2009 in Best Practices, Networking

The New York Post has a display of 50 sensational (what else?) front pages from the last 10 years.

They are asking readers to take a look and vote for the 10 top front pages of the decade.

Wow. Take a look. It is pretty interesting that business stories play such a big part in what the New York Post considered big news throughout the decade.

I know The Post goes for the jugular and keys in on big stories with bigger headlines, but I bet that a look at the Newseum’s front pages over the last decade would reveal a lot of business lead stories.

In case you are feeling shoved to the corner of the news room this holiday season, let the New York Post knock you out of those doldrums.
