Wow! Check out this website. It contains links updated daily to the front page of newspapers all around the globe and we mean all around the globe. Just click a region of the world and navigate around the map to find the country and major city you want to check the happenins’. This is really for infomation junkies. Have to remember Mark Twain’s advice though – “Those that don’t read the newspaper are uninformed. Those that do read the newspaper are misinformed.” Since this does front pages only I guess you’re somewhere in between but you get a glimpse of the big picture pretty quickly.
With that disclaimer, I think you’ll find this fascinating and maybe even useful. You do a see a stark contrast in the availabilty of ‘free press’ as you navigate the world. I don’t know if that is a function of reality or the research done to build this website (impressive to say the least). I suspect it is some of both. But this leaves little doubt regarding access to ‘whatever is fit to print’ in our society. Enjoy!
