Front Pages Around the World
Newseum’s “Today’s Front Pages” lets you see and read the current front page from hundreds of newspapers in dozens of countries. They also keep an archive of front pages for historically important days such as presidential elections, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters. Their November 5th “Obama Victory” collection includes 741 front pages from 67 countries at www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default_archive.asp?fpArchive=110508.
