The big news last night was the Election of a new U.S. president Barack Obama. A neat way to look at the effect of this event or any other current event for that matter is a site called Newseum. Newseum displays daily newspaper front pages from around the world in their original, unedited form. The papers can be sorted according to region, country and more. Take a look at todays Newseum .
There is an archive of front pages from past events but the events are major American and world issues. For example I could not locate the Canadian Election on October 12th, 2008.
The front pages are not edited or altered so consider your audience when sharing this site.
Each front page will give you a link to the source paper. You can usually find additional information on a topic without logging in.
Don't forget the WINDSOR STAR resource located in the board's student portal. Students and
teachers have access to 10 Canadian Regional papers. Click Here to visit the student portal.Thanks:
This site came to my attention from Rodd Lucier (E-Learning RELC) who picked it up from Will Richardson.
