Online Newspaper Reader is a program that allows you to read about 500
on-line newspapers from around the world. It allows you to sort by
newspaper (alphabetically) or by country, it has an easy-to-use interface,
and more. This program offers a list of on-line newspapers and you just
click on a newspaper to have it open in your Web browser (assuming you
were on-line). As expected, many of the newspapers listed were from
regional areas and were not mainstream daily papers. However, we were
disappointed in Online Newspaper Reader for other reasons. The author had
told us that there were "500+ online newspapers" to read, and the
program's official Website says a user could read "1000+ online newspapers"
but a quick count within the program showed only about 480 newspapers
listed, and some of those no longer existed, or the entry page was
incorrect. Of the seven papers we checked, two were not available. Maybe a
check of more would have lifted the percentage of live links to dead
links, but a 28% failure rate of the ones we did check was poor.
Online Newspaper Reader offers no automated update facility to rectify
errors and/or add new sites, or even a method of searching for an individual
newspaper -- just the ability to sort, either by paper of country.
Still, it is a worthwhile list of on-line newspapers and, as such, is a
usable program. Try it for yourself. For more details:

Internet made easy to circulate the print publication globally with low cost production. Online circulation mediums are in boom and thrived the readership rate rapidly. Companies like Pressmart Media helping the print publishers to distribute over the new technology mediums. I think these kinds of services will really increase the revenues.
