The New York Times remembered the victims of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting in a powerful front page on Sunday.
On Friday, 27 victims — including twenty children ages six and seven — were killed in a horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Their names were released on Saturday.
"We are going with a very different kind of front page tomorrow at the Times," metro editor Carolyn Ryan wrote on Saturday. "No photos above fold, simply the victims' names, against black backdrop."
