First, take a look at all the offerings on this site. From headline news to Almanacs you can find a great deal of information here. Next, head to “Quick Links” in the right navigational column of the site. Click on “Newspapers”, then scroll down to see the many newspapers that are there. Some are not in English, so be sure to check ahead of time if you plan to showcase a newspaper to your class.

Unfortunately, the newspapers change throughout the day so this can be a bit tricky.
Here are other links to newspapers on an international level translated in English:
