The top three quarters of the front page of the April 16, 1969, edition of the New York Times, featuring the lead headline, "U.S. Scout Plane With 31 Is Lost, Reported Downed By 2 North Korean MIG's'; Wide Hunt Begins; Navy Sights Debris—2 Soviet Vessels Guided to Area ." A small black and white photograph of an Air Force reconnaissance plane similar to the Navy's EC-121 is below the headline. And below the photo is a small black and white annotated map showing the region where the incident took place. A secondary article below the map is headlined, "Caution on Plane Urged in Capital; Legislators of Both Parties Voice Anger but Oppose Hasty Retaliation."

The top half of the front page of the April 16, 1969, edition of the Washington Post, featuring the banner headline, "N. Korea Claims It Downed U.S. Plane," along with a photograph of a Navy EC-121 aircraft. The sub-headline above the lead column at right reads, "'Spy' Craft and 31 Lost, U.S. Admits; Hunt Is Pressed For Survivors In Sea of Japan." A small black and white map showing the region where the incident occurred, including a small "X" off North Korea's east coast marking the location of the shootdown.

A black and white annotated map published in TIME magazine after the incident showing the path of the EC-121 from Naval Air Station Atsugi, Japan, northwest across the Sea of Japan to North Korea. North Korea's 12-mile territorial limit is demarcated, as is the location of the attack and seizure of the USS Pueblo off the coast of North Korea on January 22-23, 1968. The number of US troops stationed in Japan and South Korea is also noted.
