How To Find Out What Made Headlines In Sydney

When you read your daily newspaper, how can you tell what the important stories are? The front page headlines, right? But what if you wanted to know what appeared on the front page of a newspaper half-way around the world? What made headlines in Auckland, New Zealand, say or in Sydney, Australia?

If you're not a jet-setting globe trotter you can still get your hands on the front pages of newspapers around the world - your virtual hands, anyway. Simply point your browser to Newseum.org's Today's Front Pages where you'll see the actual front pages as they appear in print, of over 450 U.S. and international newspapers!

Today's Front Pages are presented three ways:
  1. Alphabetically. Beginning with the United States, papers are listed alphabetically by state - from Alabama to Wyoming. Thereafter, alphabetically by country, starting with Australia.
  2. Listed by Region. The newspaper front pages are grouped by region, everything from North America and Europe to Asia and Africa.
  3. Map view. When you select this option, you'll be presented with maps of different geographical areas. Click on the designated points on the maps and you'll see the front pages of newspapers from those locales.
While you're at it, don't forget to explore Newseum.org's additional online exhibits sure to satisfy the most demanding news junkies - everything from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs to important historical summaries and timelines!
