Dave Pell on Reading more News

In the Next Draft Newsletter, Dave writes, "I can't possibly visit more news sites than I already do, but this might help. Here is a view of today's front pages from 217 newspapers from more than 29 countries."

I know some of you are avid news readers and this site is cool. It uses thumbnails and when you mouseover a thumbnail, it displays a larger version of the frontpage of the newspaper. Clicking on the thumbnail opens another window, where you can just about read all the articles.

"Today's Front Pages" is an online version of one of the Newseum's most popular exhibits. Every morning, more than 100 newspapers from around the world submit their front pages to the Newseum via the Internet. Sixty-eight of the front pages are selected for an outdoor exhibit located at Pennsylvania Avenue and Sixth Street in downtown Washington, D.C., future site of the Newseum. Front pages are chosen to represent each of the 50 states as well as a selection of international newspapers. The electronic files are printed out on large-format printers at the Newseum's offices in Arlington, Va., then are transported to the Pennsylvania Avenue site and mounted inside the 98-foot-long steel and Plexiglas display by 8:30 a.m., seven days a week.
