    Historic front pages from Obama's re-election

    The November 7, 2012 front pages of The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and The Denver Post.

    By Natalia Jimenez, NBC News

    The news of President Barack Obama's re-election covered today's front pages of newspapers across the United States (and some around the world).

    The front pages of newspapers have always served as record-keepers for major events, offering snapshots of the nation's reaction. Years later, significant events are often remembered with copies of the next day's paper, sometimes even displayed as part of museum exhibits.

    In gathering today's digital front pages, I couldn't help but wonder what the landscape of the struggling newspaper industry will look like four years from now? There is something comforting about the tangibility of a newspaper that cannot be mimicked with a screen shot of a website.

    Many more of today's front pages can be viewed on the Newseum's website.

    Which is your favorite front page? Will you be saving a copy of today's paper?

    The November 7, 2012, front pages of the The Plain Dealer (Ohio), The Salt Lake Tribune (Utah), and Santa Fe New Mexican.

    The November 7, 2012 front pages of the Philadelphia Daily News, The Bakersfield Californian, and Chicago Sun-Times.

    The November 7, 2012, front pages of the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and The Seattle Times.

    The November 7, 2012 front pages of the Tampa Bay Times (Fla.), The Clarion-Ledger (Missi.), and The Star-Ledger (New Jersey).

    The November 7, 2012, front pages of Amsterdam's de Volkskrant, London's The Times, and Argentina's El Territorio.

    Congratulations to President Obama!! Thank God it's over!!! Looking at the supporters form both sides last night, I couldn't help but seeing a vast difference. On the Democrat's side, there are mixed pot of ethnicities, whereas Mr. Romney's supporters, were completely all white.

    Branding day starts early, ends late on Nebraska ranches

    Alyssa Schukar / Omaha World-Herald

    Paul Kenner of Wood Lake isn't able to rope a calf as he and others corral and separate young calves from their mothers before participating in a branding at the Burdick Ranch south of Wood Lake, Neb., on Saturday, April 21.

    By Jon Sweeney, NBC News

    Omaha World-Herald photographer, Alyssa Schukar, was inspired by the work of National Geographic great Sam Abell when she decided to find and photograph one of the many annual branding days in Nebraska, she said in her blog post.

    Like anything worth the effort, photographing branding is incredibly taxing, but it’s visually loaded and very rewarding when the right elements come together.

    --Alyssa Schukar, photojournalist


    At the Burdick Ranch in north-central Nebraska, the work started at sunrise and ended 12 minutes after midnight. When the day was over, some 900 calves were sorted, roped, immunized and branded. (read the complete story, “It takes a helping hand to brand” at Omaha.com).

    Searing Brand. Good photo story. It's got some great shots. I especially like the top one with rope and calf, because it's got action.

    Russian newspaper Pravda (Truth) celebrates its 100th anniversary

    Spekhov Yevgeny, editor of correspondence department, shows an issue of paper 'Pravda' from 10 May 1945 after the capitulation of Nazi Germany in the editorial office of Russian Communist party newspaper 'Pravda' (Truth) in Moscow, Russia on Friday. Russian celebrate 100 year anniversary of the first issue of the newspaper 'Pravda' which was published on 05 May 1912 in St. Petersburg, becoming the biggest newspaper during the Soviet period of the Russian history and the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party from 1912 until 1991 when the paper was closed down after the decree of the President Boris Yeltsin. In 1997 Russian communists recovered 'Pravda' as an official paper of the Russian Communist party.

    Boris Komotsky, editor of Pravda newspaper, works at his desk in an office, with an image of Soviet state founder Vladimir Lenin seen in the background, at Moscow.

    Reuters reports that the 100-year-old Russian newspaper is still 'urging the workers of the world to unite':

    Times are hard. But its editor says that battling hostile authorities, the threat of closure and financial problems is how Pravda spent its early years after first appearing in St Petersburg on May 5, 1912, until the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

    "In many respects our role and purpose has gone back to what it was before 1917," Boris Komotsky said in his office in Moscow's Pravda Street, a huge photograph of Soviet state founder Vladimir Lenin reading Pravda on the wall behind him.

    "We are the opposition's main organ, fighting for power, for policy changes. We've gone though so many problems. Now each of the workers here is a hero. At times they've had to work without getting a paycheck."

    There's a newspaper in America with the same name - in English. The Elkhart Truth, in northern Indiana, worked together with msnbc.com to produce the Elkhart Project, a yearlong series of reports about a region hit particularly hard by the recent recession.

    I remember I was reading PRAVDA with my grandfather, when I was a kid. He was blind, so he asked me to read it to him.

    Thousands of copies of the newspaper 'France-Soir' are dispersed on the pavement as workers throw others from upper floors of the paper's headquarters, on the Champs Elysees in Paris on Dec. 13, 2011.

    A lament for newsprint: Staff protest as storied French newspaper ceases print edition

    By David R Arnott, NBC News

    Around 100 workers from the CGT trade union occupied the Paris headquarters of the newspaper France Soir on Tuesday, Agence France-Presse reported, carpeting the Champs Elysees with copies of the paper in protest against the impending termination of its print edition.

    France Soir was launched in November 1944 by two underground resistance fighters, according to The Local, a news website. By the mid-1950s, its circulation had grown to 1.5 million, but a long decline has seen the figure fall as low as 60,000 in recent years.

    The current owner, Russian Alexandre Pougatchev, plans to switch to an online-only version of the paper on December 15, resulting in the loss of 89 out of 116 jobs.
