A Map of the World's Newspapers
"Oh, Bo, you mean like stuff from the 1920s?" Well, yes, they have stuff from the 1920s, but that is very modern history from a journalistic perspective. What I saw was a newspaper that covered the sinking of the Spanish Armada. Now that is journalistic history of the highest order.
So, this link I am sending to you is a map of the world. All you do is drag your cursor over the cities of the world, click on one, and get a full-cover PDF version of today’s newspaper from that town or city in real time. Think about the coordination to pull that off. This is not only a piece of the past; it is a place for the future.
