I don't know about those shots, but I find it disturbing to actually notice 
those 
digital artifacts (jpeg compression, over sharpening) in the daily newspapers.  
If 
digital can't match analogue on newsprint it has a long way to go.  Perhaps 
it's 
just the lack of any concept of "quality" in newspapers these days - check the 
spelling and grammar too.
