6.27.07 - iProduct Placement??

The Journal turns itself into a giant advertisement for Apple's new iPhoto with the lead story and a huge graphic on the front page, the second day in a row of large stories about the iPhoto.

One wonders, "Is this part of the product placement virus that is rampaging through mainstream media? Is the Journal just another desperate newspaper trying to avoid extinction by tabloidizing its front page?

Or, are we idiots for expecting the front page's lead story to be about . . . uhmm . . . "news?"
