Overloaded, These Might Help!

This is a collection of sites that make it easier to access news and reduce overload. Each of these sites is a little different, providing visual representations of current news with the ability to drill to the article level. These sites present news, updated on a regular basis, in a variety of visual formats.

1. Newseum – Front Pages

Presents todays font pages in a visual archive so you can quickly peruse the front page news on 627 front pages from 58 countries.

2. Newsmap

A great visual representation of news headlines with the ability to drill down (in a pop-up window) to read the story. Stories are deprecated, by color, to show age. Additionally, the most popular stories are presented in a larger format to demonstrate popularity (based on number of related articles).

3. Ten by Ten

Visual representation of news stories with a picture, representative of the story, a one-word description of the story and headlines for further reading. Most popular stories are presented at the top working to the right and down.

Hopefully these will help you access and digest news in a more manageable timeframe.
