Front Pages reconstructs the world's news agenda

Field notes

Front Pages uses outlet RSS feeds as its source material and links each headline back to the originating article. Its distinctive layer is the ordering: the site estimates how prominently each story is being run across a country's outlets, while explicitly noting that this is its own reconstruction rather than an official ranking. The homepage exposes country selection and a refresh control, and covers the United States, Canada, Brazil, India, and China. The captured extract was still showing a loading state, so the rendered story list could not be inspected.
