Cape Times in South Africa put together a series of print advertisements in 2007 linking historical events with their coverage. Each photograph presents what may have happened the day before significant events, the bombing of Hiroshima (Sunday 5 August 1945), the assasination of JFK (Thursday 25 November 1963), the Soweto Uprising (Tuesday 15 June 1976), the 94 Elections (Tuesday 26 April 1994), the fall of the Berlin Wall (Wednesday 8 November 1989), and September 9/11 (Monday 10, September 2001). The text for each, “The world can change in a day. Don’t miss your daily edition of in-depth news.”
