Newspaper Map is an interactive map of the world press.
A free and free resource for discover the press in most countries of the world. More than 10 000 online newspapers are listed by this service in the form of a Google map.
A card in which you will be able to search, filter and discover hundreds of newspapers in all languages placed on a map of the world with virtual pins. You can use a fairly comprehensive search tool that allows you to filter the results.
You can search for media by newspaper name, region, language or geolocation on the map. If you discover a missing media, you can propose it to the animators of the site who call on Internet users to enrich and complete this gigantic database. By clicking on a pin on the map, you will have access to the link to the newspaper website, you will have an overview in the form of a site thumbnail.
You will also be able to request an on-the-fly translation of the contents of the newspaper through Google's on-board translation service. Interesting.
In the class
Newspaper Map lends itself to many uses in the classroom. This is a good example of specialised directories that show students that an internet search does not necessarily go through Google. The site can be used to make your students aware of the world of the press, as part of research work. Follow the news through the prism of the foreign press for example.
It can also be an opportunity to confront the understanding of a foreign language through press articles on topical topics.
Rewind - Update January 2015
Feedback and update on articles published on Tice Tools.
Newspaper Map still exists and we can only rejoice. This is a particularly interesting resource if you use the online press to work in class. The newspaper database has grown further over the months, and Google’s translation engine has also improved, making it easier to decrypt thanks to the links offered by Newspaper Map les Unes and foreign press articles translated into French. That's great.
On the new side, the site offers in beta a version for mobile that allows you to consult the database on your smartphone or tablet.
Newspaper Map remains a free service.
