Interactive World Map with Today’s Front Pages

by Chris Borgen

I just wanted to pass along something I had found recently: Newseum has an interactive map that allows you to see that day’s front pages from various papers from around the world.  Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, you can’t enlarge the pages (although you can zoom-in on the map), so by-and-large only the headlines are readable. Nonetheless, this does allow you to scan headlines from around the globe and, to that extent, it is a snapshot of the first draft(s) of history.

  1. Response…Thanks for this Chris.  It is very interesting.  Though I note that it only has four newspapers from all of Africa — two in South Africa, one in Tunisia, and one in Morocco.  But I guess that is a start!

  2. You can enlarge the pages by viewing them via the Gallery or List links on the top left of the map console. Remarkable. Thank you, Chris, for the tip.
