The British Library has a new exhibit (opened by the Queen!), “Celebrating 100 years of the British Newspaper.”

This new exhibition looks at the growth and development of the last 100 years of the British Newspaper through a selection of 200 front pages. You will discover how the stories which make the front page are reported on, and how and why they are selected by editors and journalists. You will also appreciate why newspapers, throwaway items by day, are a treasure-trove of social history.

Also, the BBC’s Newsnight held a vote on the most memorable front page of the last century. The Daily Telegraph’s front of Sept. 12, 2001 was the winner.
