Here is a handy tool for any J educator. It shows the front pages of 205 US newspapers and 29 foreign newspapers. Here is the perfect beginning of a current events assignment as we stand on the brink of war. What a great way to compare P.O.V. and the degree to which a paper editorializes with its headlines.
It sets you up to look at issues of national vs. international news, bias, media ethics (what papers are part of the Bechtel conglomerate?)
I need to go and write an assignment for my class now, this inspired me so much. I will try and repost this link because it will remain a very valuable on to print j folks and to others.
