Coffee and newspapers in Tel Aviv, Amsterdam and Hong Kong.

The future of newspapers depends … on how many people drink coffee while reading newspapers.

This the Starbucks way to newspaper success!

Today I am starting a new serial with great places to read newspapers.

Fantastic ones like these in Hanoi, Vietnam.

This boy, who is disabled and can’t walk at all, sells newspapers in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2006.

He sits on a bicycle, using his hands to pedal and control the bike.

He works from 6 am to 10 pm.

In the new Diari de Balears.

An inside section front with a comic.

The Economist has a good interactive graphic about cluster bombs.

According to the Cluster Munitions Coalition, a lobbying group, 98% of those killed by cluster bombs were civilians, and more than a third were children.

But many countries still are producing, using or suffering from these bombs.

This was the traditional logo within the masthead of the International Herald Tribune.

Now, The New York Times wants to brand it as “The Global Edition of the New York Times.”

So they are killing the beautiful 142-year-old logo.

Not a big revolution or a smart strategic decision for a dying newspaper.

Today is Memorial Day in the U.S.

And some newspapers have the traditional front pages.

But look at the last one from The Virginian-Pilot.

It’s different.

Really unique.

With a dramatic full-page illustration in black and white: a gravestone rubbing made by Sam Hundley.

Journalism caviar!

Today I got this picture of the party before the launch of the new Diari de Balears with INNOVATION’s Carlos Soria, Javier Errea, Carlos Enrique Bayo, the editor and journalists from the paper.

Here is a selection of new inside front section pages from the first week of this local Catalan newspaper:

The Guardian reports:

Telegraph.co.uk overtook guardian.co.uk in April to become the most popular UK national newspaper site, according to the latest Audit Bureau of Circulations Electronic figures issued today.

The Telegraph Media Group website, which carries articles from the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph as well as original output, saw its unique user numbers rise 9.45% from March to 18,646,112 for April.

This was an increase of 153% year on year compared with April 2007.

Well, integrated multimedia newsrooms work.
