Inauguration coverage
There was some really nice technology and creative work done around the US election this time around, not least the use of Perceptive Pixel technology in the election tracking process and the Photosynth project CNN delivered on inauguration day.
And then I found this really nice piece of creative work (hats off to James for the tip). Collected together in one place are the newspaper front pages for almost every newspaper around the world for Jan 21 of this year, the day after the inauguration.
I know a lot of people that were hoarding newspapers that day, and I belive that many of the national majors sold out their print editions (might be the last time that happens) early in the morning. I love that someone took that posterity concept one step further, and included newspapers that most of us don’t have easy access too.
Take some time to check out the full version here. Typically with news coverage of an election to public office like this, you expect to see perspectives change quite dramatically across media outlets and countries. But you will struggle to find a dissenting voice on any of the front pages here - I am not sure I recall a piece of news that was greeted with such universal support.
