- The drop shadow lives.
Sofia, Bulgaria. Above: 24 Hours Daily, from Sofia, Bulgaria (via Newseum). A dreaded moment of synthesis, web aesthetics merge with print, or just plain old fashioned horrorshow?

- Front Pages: Venezuela
Changing our world, one handshake at a time. Above: El Universal, from Caracas, Venezuela (image via Newseum). At last, diplomacy. Moving forward, smiling.

- Front Pages: Luxembourg
Internet in print, print in the internet? Above: Point24, from Luxembourg City, Luxembourg.

Revolution with a handshake. Above: Morgunbladid, from Reykjavik, Iceland (front page via Newseum).
