President Obama Election 2008
A Collection of Newspaper Front Pages Selected by the Poynter Institute
When the dust cleared from the presidential election of 2008, where did Americans turn to commemorate the historic outcome? Surprisingly, from an old friend — newspapers. Led by an emphatic introduction by Doonesbury… (more) creator Garry Trudeau, Barack Obama: Election 2008 features over 75 post-election newspaper front pages from around the world. There is no better statement of the emotion, excitement and significance of this historic event. Front pages from major U.S. Papers as well as international, campus and ethnic publications, combine to give a face to the worldwide celebration that took place on November 5th, 2008. Compiled by The Poynter Institute, a non-profit school for journalists, this book will be a cherished keepsake or gift to commemorate the election of the 44th President of the United States.
"To look at these disparate front pages in sequence is to grasp the enormity of Barack Obama's dream of bringing a fractious country together. But the overriding tone of elation and pride suggests he's off to a pretty good start." —Garry Trudeau, from the Introduction to Barack Obama: Election 2008
