Mesa Tribune - Happiest Newspaper on Earth





I dont know that I ever noticed the selection of sports pictures in the newspaper prior until now. This was all before I watched the effort David Thomas takes in picking out just the right picture to submit to the newspaper.
.
Now that I now the effort and to look for the newspaper editor's style. I am convinced that the Mesa Tribune likes the hug the colleague (all pictures are from today's paper) and chooses the happy theme.
.
PS I love David's pictures :)

Too kind, and thanks for the nice comments.

The pictures you describe are called "jube" or "jubo", both short for jubilation. They can really tell the story of the game, although rarely are both teams jumping for joy. It works the other way, too.

Thanks again for the kind words.

I like learning a new word from David and I'm gonna start using it as in "Hey, cheer up, show me some jube!" when people are being downers. Hehe. David, what's the word for the anti-jube?!?!

Ugh.

When I was on the cover of the AZ republic, I was knocking a girl down.

Personality of the paper?~!
