Osama Bin Laden and the media

Last week it was the Royal Wedding that made the cover of the magazines I subscribe to, TIME and Newsweek. This week, both magazines and TELL where I work, have all gone the Bin Laden way.

TIME put an X on his face, the fourth time they have done so in their history with some previous recipients being Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein.

Newsweek proclaimed, "Mission Accomplished".


TELL delved into the range of al Qaeda-like activity that has been going on in northern Nigeria.


One thing is certain, the world is rid of one more terror monger.
