Pic: The FIFA weekly magazine failed to mention a fairly massive story on their front cover

Sepp who?

Sepp who?

Any news editor will usually have to make a tough decision when it comes to selecting the design, image and content of any publication.

The front-page of any newspaper, magazine or website should be able to instantly grab the attention of a reader while also informing them of what they can expect to read in the publication.

Sepp Blatter has been fairly prominent in the media this week – we wonder why – but FIFA’s weekly magazine don’t seem to think that his decision to step down is front-page news.

We’re happy to see that the Women’s World Cup has been given top billing – proper athletes deserve to have the limelight on them as opposed to corrupt bureaucrats – but why isn’t Blatter even mentioned in the lower columns?

Did this go to print before he stepped down or are FIFA just burying their heads in the sand. Mmm.
