I just heard about a cool news website -
http://www.newseum.org/...
If you want to see what's happening around the world (or, at least the news media's version) this is a great site.
More on the flip
When you open the link you see a map of the world. You can click on various locations to see the front page of the newspaper in that location for that day. Double clicking on a location will bring up a pdf version of the front page of the paper, and you can click on a link to get to the paper's website.
There's also a option to show papers by location or title.
