Newseum
This is a really interesting site for looking at what is making the news around the world. Obviously some are a little hard to read as they are in other languages! But most days there are around 450 front pages from newspapers all round the world.
You can only see the pages for the current day and it is completely dependent on someone sending in a scan of the day’s paper - if no scan is sent then it doesn’t feature. After the day they are posted they are gone - there is no archive - I suspect it may breech copyright. Useful from an educational point of view.
Have a good look around the site. There is also a game based on the latest current events.
