All The News That's Fit To Print

No really. All the news that's fit to print.

Newseum offers a snapshot of the front pages of a multitude of newspapers from 46 countries. This site also allows one to access the website of the paper as well. Kinda cool, huh?

Sure, you could find the papers yourself online. But if you're browsing or have a specific need, this is a great site.

I added the following as a plus. Here are the instructions for folding the NY Times from the F.Y.I column in the city section of the same paper on June 13, 2004. It is an artform you know.

Subway Origami

Q. One morning on a crowded New York bus, I watched an elderly gentleman fold The New York Times in a manner I had never seen before. He never brushed the person next to him. It was almost like watching a ballet. Ever since, I have been in search of someone who knew how to fold the paper this way, to no avail. Any advice?

A. There are many who, like you, lament the decline of what is known as the subway fold.

According to The Times's Newspaper in Education program, the key is to first fold the newspaper vertically, from top to bottom, to create a crease down the middle. If you are reading the front page, fold again horizontally to create a quadrant. Flip and fold as necessary to read each portion of the page.

To jump to an inside page, open the top corner to that page and peel the front half back, so the paper remains folded vertically. If you want to read the center columns, peel back the inside once more, creating two lengthwise portions. Then fold again into four parts.

Keep your elbows close to your body. And stand clear of the closing doors.

Just so you know, there will be a pop quiz later on.
