obviously the news of the day is MJ dead. very likely that people in every country will be commemorating this in all sorts of ways. be on the lookout for something interesting, unique, original etc. a fresh approach to the topic. think of what the media will cover and look for something different. I know it sounds corny and broad and general but it is the news of the day and there will be demand for such photos. if any questions, nico@demotix.com

Mardi 27 Janvier 2009 Belgian nursery attack - court hearing Court of Dendermonde, Belgium, 9am (8am GMT) 20-year old man, named by Belgian media as Kim de Gelder, appears charged with murdering two babies and a nurse in an attack at a day-care centre in western Belgium on January 23. A man wearing face paint entered the centre in Dendermonde with a long knife and began slashing some of the children lying in beds. He fled on a bicycle but was arrested shortly after in a supermarket by police. Prosecutor Christian Du Four said the man was unemployed and had no criminal record or previously known mental problems.
