I know, I know...the newspaper is dead.
But Newseum is a useful tool to provide a visual look at what the media thinks is "front page worthy" across the United States and Internationally. Just hover over the city or change the country to see a visual of the front page.
Classroom applications:
- Discuss the similarities/differences of headlines nationally or internationally - what causes these similarities and differences?
- Discuss what makes an event "headline" worthy? Who decides that? Create a list of criteria and analyze the choice of various front pages.
- Track key events regionally and internationally (ex. elections) and analyze the perspectives/language shown in the headlines
