"Offering colorful, enticing daily snapshots of the front pages submitted by over 600 newspapers from 59 countries, this free site is hosted by Newseum, a nonprofit museum of the news media. Front pages are presented as thumbnails with links to readable PDF images and to each newspaper's own Web site. The PDF image is of only the front page and does not provide the entire article when the story is continued on subsequent pages. Since the front pages of slightly more than 50 significant dates have been archived (e.g., 9/11, the Virginia Tech massacre, Pope Benedict's recent visit to the US), this site will not be useful for most historical research or analysis." -- Choice
