Newspaper Map

Newspaper Map- Here's a cool site that has front pages of hundreds of newspapers from around the world displayed on a Google map.  Click on a pin to bring up the front page of a particular paper. From here you can access the paper's website. You are able to filter by region/location and even language. You can even translate! Pretty awesome.
Educational value: I'm thinking it's an easy way to view papers from around the world and do a little study on how a hot news topic is being covered that day in various places. This would also be a great opportunity for language teachers to be able to acces language specific papers for their students. What better way to learn about Spanish than to read a Spanish newspaper?!
