Paper Monitor

12:42 UK time, Wednesday, 1 October 2008

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Natasha Kaplinsky has had her baby and Five has released an artful black and white photo of their star newsreader and her tiny bundle of joy.

This is a woman who has always made every effort to look immaculate, from perfectly-plucked brow to polished shoe tip.

So one wonders how she will feel about the Sun's reproduction of said portrait, in which the picture editor has thrown the switch to maximum contrast. Rather than go with the flatteringly overexposed image run by the Dailies Mirror and Mail (anyone with freckles knows what I'm saying), the Sun's version throws any facial creases into sharp relief.

Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph has an equally revealing montage of David Cameron. Ever keen to present himself as a fit and active go-getter (remember the just-short-enough shorts he wore for those Cornish holiday snaps), he donned running garb while out and about in Birmingham.

"Walk before you run," is the paper's headline. "The Tory leader went for a stroll yesterday morning... but picked up the pace as soon as the cameras caught up with him."

As the old adage goes, men sweat, women perspire and those likely to be photographed jogging prefer to glow.
