America has a new president today (well, technically we still have the same ol' one, but we know Bush will be moving house come early next year). In honor of the historic election of Barack Obama, let's take a look at how the story is being played on newspaper front pages around the world:

- The Newseum has front pages from across the globe; just select a region to narrow it down.

- Sky News has a gallery of front pages in UK papers. (My fav front here is The Sun, in which Obama sort of looks like the bionic man running toward the headline of "ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND" - it's fun AND informative. The "most lame" award goes to the Daily Star, with the headline "Yanks very much!" in a small corner - the big "news" on the page is a huge picture of a half-naked woman next to the scene-stealing headline "Abbey Clancy in thigh high boots." However, the headline "GOBAMA" in the Daily Mirror is pretty suck-tacular, too.

Know of a front page today that is really good - or really bad? Or have a suggestion for a good site to see a range of newspaper front pages (not the fronts for just one publication)? Share your thoughts and a link in the comments section!

And a little fyi, check the news links today as they may change to new front pages tomorrow. Though I'm pretty sure Obama will still be the dominant topic then, so you'll still have an interesting view of how the same story is presented in different parts of a country or the world.
