In Honor Of The Herald's New Editor

Published July 29, 2010

OK, the ascension of Joe Sciacca to editor in chief of the Boston Herald is not even remotely controversial. From what I can tell he’s a stand-up guy who deserves the gig. We talked with Joe yesterday on Radio Boston.

In his honor, I submit this fake Herald cover for your review:

Good luck, Joe.

If you want a laugh, you can browse through some the Herald’s (actual) recent covers — they’re instant classics. What’s your favorite?

Update: Twitterer David Guarino () replies: “Shoulda gone with a hat. As Joe knows, you haven’t made it until Herald puts a hat on you on page 1.” Hilarious.
