This is so cool: you can see [scans of newspaper front pages](http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/) from across the globe! Well, _I_ think it’s cool. 🙂 ---

Countries, with an “r.” From that main page, click either “List by Region” or “Map View.” Don’t be afraid to venture beyond the page that was linked to. 😉 ---

Very interesting site…albeit with rather strange selections. From the UK, they’ve got the Telegraph, the Mirror, the Guardian and an Arabic paper. Fair enough. But the other two are the Lancashire Evening Post, and the Shields Gazette - current headline: “_Playtime Peril - Pupils Banned from Unsafe School Field_”. :dubious: ---

Well, their choices for israel – _Ma’ariv_ and _Yedioth Aharonoth_ – make perfect sense. I would have liked to see _Ha’Aretz_ too, but, realisticly, its circulation just doesn’t merit it… I **am** kind of surprised they didn’t put in the _Jerusalem Post_, however (it’s our only English-language daily newspaper. Pitiful circulation, though, so I guess it didn’t pass muster, either) ---

It is cool… Too bad the choice they have for Puerto Rico is not the best one. _sigh_ One guess it could be worse, they could have put the one that shows black and white pics of murdered people or mugshots of the accused… ---

Ha, I was about to snottily observe that Puerto Rico is the only place represented in the Caribbean. But was trumped by the realisation they’ve only got one paper for _Africa_. ---

From the “[About/Contact](http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/about_contact.htm)” page: > [@](#): > > **Why can’t I find a specific newspaper, and how do you decide which newspapers to feature each day?** > If you cannot find the front page of a specific daily newspaper, it is possible that the newspaper does not participate in our daily exhibit. When the “Today’s Front Pages” exhibit opened at the Newseum in 1997, we contacted as many newspapers as possible as contributors, and we continue to solicit additional participants. Unfortunately, some newspapers have not responded to our requests. You can help us by contacting your newspaper and suggesting that it become part of our online exhibit. Specific instructions on how to participate in the “Today’s Front Pages” exhibit are at [frontpages@newseum.org](mailto:frontpages@newseum.org). I didn’t realize that it was an exhibit; I thought it was just a feature on the museum’s website. I learned about it from a 3-sentence mention in the current issue of _Rolling Stone_. 🙂
