Covering the covers: How world papers announced Pres. Obama

With ebay entrepreneurs already trying to hawk “Obama wins” newspapers still available at news stands, I offer a look at some of the more interesting newspaper covers announcing President-Elect Barack Obama. See more at Newseum’s archive of daily front pages from the U.S. and around the world. While the local dailies ran jubilant, if pretty traditional covers, others got a bit more creative

Minimal. Except for the tacky ad.

The Hartford Courant apparently used its entire front page, horizontally, to commemorate the occasion.

Classic and classy from one of Obama's hometown papers.
