Newspaper Map

Newspaper Map is a neat tool for finding newspapers either by name or by location.  Each newspaper is given a color coded placemark (depicting the language the newspaper in written in)  and is placed on a world map (depicting the place of publication).  Clicking on a placemark will bring you to the website for the newspaper. Newspapers can be translated to numerous languages including English, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Japanese, Russian and Portuguese.
