June's Task: Newseum

This is an interesting resource, though I can't see much practical use for it, as most front-page articles are not completed on the front page itself.  There's usually just enough there to determine if the article is interesting.  I suppose you could use it to take a quick look to see if you then wanted to go get the newspaper? 

I don't find much allure in newspapers myself.  Or newscasts for that matter.  Most "News" is either bad news or isn't news - just gossip.  Anything really important will get mentioned to me at some point in my day, either via radio or by word of mouth.  At that point, if I'm interested, I can look it up.  Information travels so quickly and widely now that you are often able to find some way to "tune in" while it's still happening.

All that aside, it was interesting to look at front pages around the world.  According to the pages I looked at from Australia, Pelosi and Palin aren't the only controversial female politicians around!
