This campaign is a couple of months old but we’ve just picked it up again and absolutely love it. The Peruvian newspaper ‘El Bocón’, one of the countries leading sports newspapers, took a stand for peace in soccer violence. When a fan got killed in riots after a match, they removed all of the soccer news out of their newspaper. They left blank spots where the news was supposed to be. Great innovative way to take a stand as a newspaper.

Actually, the concept isn’t that new! In India, a renowned newspaper The Indian Express printed blank newspapers in protest of Media Censorship on June 28, 1975. Here’s more if you wish to read: http://theviewspaper.net/emergency-the-darkest-period-in-indian-democracy/
