November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance

Yes, this is the kind of thread which should be sticky at least for the day.

Looking at Google's news, the coverage so far by the mainstream media looks pretty much non-existent. The Human Rights Campaign, the NY Blade, the Bay Area Indymedia are all gay or trans oriented. Has anyone seen any coverage in the big papers today? Maybe tomorrow.

I was surprised and disappointed that the Boston Globe carried no mention that I could find.

Good links Ecstatic, although the article in the Des Moines register isn't about the Day of Remembrance but on what seems to be yet another hate crime.

Nut what about the really big papers that sell nationwide like the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today or the ones that sell internationally, like the Herald Tribune.

I think their coverage has been minimal or non-existent.

If the media cannot place the matter in the public eye, then what can we do. Contemplating silently or lighting candles helps no one and spreads no message.

Just discovered this good site to check out, featuring today's newspapers: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx

I don't think it has a search function though.
