Some interesting links on bin Laden death

Newseum site of today's front pages from newspapers around the road has been crashed by too-heavy traffic.

Here's newseum site in case it starts working. I'm having trouble with it right now.

In regards to how people get news, I asked my five students in reporting class today how they found out. The could all be traced to a form of digital media. Two on Facebook, one a text message and two heard from someone in the dorm and watched the president's announcement live online on news channel Web sites.

I found out this morning from my wife, who saw it on Yahoo! news.

How did you find out?
