Newseum
Newseum Washington, DC's Most Interactive Museum is the site of the Newseum - a 250,000-square-foot museum of news which offers an experience of blending five centuries of news history with technology and hands-on exhibits.
Today's Front Pages section could be a nice teaching tool for a lot of tasks: warming-up, motivating the discussion, the source of information for students' projects. The students can search for the needed information, compare the front pages of newspapers from one and the same and from different countries and continents.
One more interesting thing from the Newseum is NewsMania - "the news trivia game as fresh as today's headlines". It has three levels - Intern, Reporter, Editor - offering questions with multiple-choice answers. But even if you're wrong (the questions are not easy at all) the correct answer is given.
NewsCred
NewsCred - Create and Discover Newspapers About the Things You Love - not only shows the Breaking News but also suggests creating your own online newspaper in 60 seconds. This could be a wonderful idea for students to present their projects, to create their class or group newspaper, just to be a good way to try themselves in the newswriting sphere.
