Where's the magic?

Pope Benedict XVI's six-day visit to the U.S. has been filled with pomp -- and substance. Papal events have been almost mesmerizing on TV news, and online news sites have explained and examined aspects of the visit in creative ways. Yet newspaper front pages have been lackluster in their efforts.

One newspaper that has done an exceptional job in advance of Benedict's visit to New York is The Journal News of Westchester, N.Y. Its Web package, Benedict in America, offered video, slideshows and a blog written by religion reporter Gary Stern. The Journal News' front page dissects the papal itinerary in New York.
