Teaching Comparative Government and Politics

Primary or secondary source?

The Internet Public Library was begun as a class project at University of Michigan’s School of Information. Today, students from 14 institutions maintain a wonderful collection of materials available on the Web.

If you'd like your students to do research using newspapers in the countries they are studying, this is the place to get them started.

You could ask them to compare how a specific topic is reported in each country or you could ask them to compare the headlines on a specific day. There are enough newspapers listed that each student could read headlines and main articles for a couple of them.

Or you could probably think up something even more creative. If you do, tell us about it.

Here are the direct links to the listings for newspapers from selected countries:



Even more newspapers are linked at the Online Newspapers site:
