So, you seem to be getting bored with your daily newspaper and would seriously like to know about whats going on in north Ireland for instance. “Can I still hijack some castle and make my retirement home inside it?” Of course, the Newseum doesn’t exist to answer such insipid questions but to bring to you front pages from across the globe. Which in itself is a pretty daunting task.
Newseum is a place where you can read the front pages of 820 newspapers from 74 countries. And front pages are generally enough to stay clued in about any region in particular. You might notice that some countries are poorly represented, like India and China for instance. But according to Newseum, the news houses are not sending in their front pages. Bad news houses.
They also have a pretty cool looking building in Washington with a 74-foot-high marble engraving of the First Amendment to the American Constitution. You see, the building was made when it wasn’t recession.
Here you can enter, for a fee, and read front pages and also know about important moments that created tidal waves of news. Digital or real, the Newseum guarantees that you will be drowned in news. Which cannot really be a bad thing.
