Deja vu

When I picked up the SCMP this morning, I thought I was stuck in a time warp. In the middle of the front page was a photograph of two men that were there yesterday. At first I thought perhaps I was picking up yesterday’s paper.  But no, this is today’s paper, but the photograph and the lead article were quite similar.


Why would a newspaper publish a photograph of and lead with the same two men on consecutive days?  Yes, they are the leaders of the two most powerful countries in the world, and they are having a meeting in California.  But they are not meeting over a war, a disaster, or some crisis that had captured the world’s attention.

Is it simply laziness?

Is the SCMP becoming more like the newspapers on the Chinese mainland?
