If growth in Palm Beach County is the biggest item of debate county-wide, then why did the Post do this?

Wayne Washington at The Palm Beach Post is doing a series called, "A Question of Growth". He is doing articles featuring the opinions and concerns of developers, farmers, government officials, environmentalists and others.

For some reason this work by Mr. Washington ended up below the fold on the front page of the Post on Sunday; it was trumped by Joe Capozzi's article about the minor crematory incident in Lake Worth almost 3 weeks ago.

"REAL NEWS STARTS HERE"?

The crematoriums Capozzi refers to have been in Lake Worth since at least the 1980's, possibly earlier than that. I wrote a post about this topic on Saturday (7/18) and speculated as to why this story hadn't made the print edition since it had been on-line for several days. I suggested the Post was holding back on publishing this in the print edition to make a big splash in the Sunday paper, and I was right: there it was on Sunday, front page above the fold. Here is how Wikipedia explains above the fold:

Above the fold is the upper half of the front page of a newspaper where an important news story or photograph is often located. Papers are often displayed to customers folded so that only the top half of the front page is visible. Thus, an item that is "above the fold" may be one that the editors feel will entice people to buy the paper.

Would it fair to conclude the Post's editors used this story to sell more newspapers? Mull on this for a few days: "REAL NEWS STARTS HERE"?
