    That is very cool

    Edit: Interesting to see how many images of Paris are on the front covers.

    I like the article on the frontpage of the Austalian newspaper The Courier Mail (Brisbane 8 nov 2005)... Norwegian captain taking on pirates with the US owned luxus cruiser Seabourn Spirit...

    In what way are the papers featured on the site?.. There are no major Turkish papers there, only the ones that published in English (while they're not well known). However there are Israeli papers that are in Hebrew.

    Totally inadequate I'm afraid. For France they do not even have Le Monde. For all of Africa they have only one paper, a Tunesian one. Where is the excellent South African Mail & Guardian?

    EDIT
    Oops, they have just added Le Monde. On to Libération. We Dutchmen have no newspapers as you can see. We threw them out years ago. Damn nuisance.

    Quite interesting actually - unfortunately it lacks comprehensiveness (no suprise - probably due to copyright issues).

    The selection for Frankfurt was a bit strange though

    Stupid pirates, they should know by now that if you board a Norwegian captained ship you have to look after the passengers for life.

    I was wondering about what papers they have also. From their FAQ

    How do you decide which newspapers to feature each day?
    All of the front pages we receive each morning are included in that day's online exhibit. If you don't see a particular newspaper that you have seen in the exhibit previously, the newspaper simply may not have submitted that morning's front page, or there may have been a technical problem with the electronic transmission. We rely on staff at each participating newspaper to send us their front page every morning, and if we do not receive a front page from a regular contributor, we contact them immediately to resolve the problem.

    Hehe, there are a ton of newspapers from Brazil but none from Argentina, I guess they are all too busy reading their anti-american press to contribute to an American site.
