Oh I've had problems with this. I don't know if the recession is hitting papers so they don't commission work or if I'm looking in the wrong places.

This graphic by Graham Hughes was used to illustrate a piece on increased regulation of Building Societies

This striking image by Lynsey Irvine & Peter Storey appeared in the Observer to illustrate an article about the use of the internet by radicals and activists. It appeared across the middle of a double page spread with the leads encroaching on the text.

Finally this image appeared in today's Times to illustrate a piece about the demise of the personals column in the London Review of Books. I think it is by Corbis. It is an interesting take on the broken heart theme (scanned at poor quality because our PC too a dislike to it & wouldn't reproduce the high resolution scan)
