Today I read a great blog post written by Richard Watson, the publisher of What's Next (a website that documents global trends) and co-founder of Strategy Insight (a specialist scenario planning consultancy).

Find Your Favorite Paper (Or Not) With Interactive Site
The number of newspapers continues to decline at an alarming pace (at least for those of us who've worked in the industry for more years than we care to admit), but there a few stalwarts still remain. Want to see who's still spilling barrels of ink daily? Then visit this site, a part of the Newseum’s interactive offerings. More than 800 newspapers worldwide have agreed to take part in this exercise, so scroll to your heart’s content and sample front pages from around the country, even the globe. (They’re not edited in any way, so the content of some might throw you. As the Newseum says, “discretion is advised.”)
