President Obama: A Historic Election on the World’s Front Pages

These front pages were among those considered for The Poynter Institute’s book on the 2008 presidential election.

Hundreds of pages were reviewed. Ultimately, we could publish only 75 in the book. The selection was extremely difficult — a balance of design, geographic diversity, political and historical importance.

A great deal of memorable journalism was published after the election. We wish we could have included it all. Please enjoy these fine pages.

Pages can be sorted by state, country or type (alternative, college, daily, ethnic).
