Thanks to Steve Jobs, it’s way more likely that you learned about his death from a smartphone than a newspaper, but editors all over the world paid tribute to Jobs’s impact with impressive, often sentimental, front pages.
The front page from The Daily News in Palo Alto, California, calls attention to his status as a powerful thought-leader and innovator, while other papers reference the creativity of his product designs or his iconic personality. It’s somehow fitting that like great individuals before him, Jobs has been treated to homages in newsprint and ink — even if he spent most of his life switching the world over to bits.
We pulled some of our favourite front pages from Australian newspapers from The Paper Boy as well as front pages from all over the world from Newseum.
