Choose a country to see major outlets and their front pages in a single minimalist crosswire.
See how the world's media covers the same day
Crosswire places the live front pages of major news outlets side by side, so you can see at a glance how the same story is framed in different countries — and across the political spectrum. Choose a country to open its leading outlets together, or use a Left · Center · Right preset to read a left-leaning, a centrist and a right-leaning title in parallel and compare emphasis, framing and story selection.
Coverage spans 124 countries and 638 outlets — from newspapers of record and public broadcasters to business dailies and digital-native outlets. Every outlet has its own page with a description, a live front-page preview and its approximate editorial leaning, drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments. Crosswire is free and needs no account.

Frequently asked questions
What is Crosswire?+
Crosswire is a free tool that shows the live front pages of major news outlets side by side, so you can compare how the same day is covered across countries and across the political spectrum.
How are political leanings determined?+
The Left, Center and Right labels are approximate orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments — AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check — together with each outlet's reputation and ownership. Where no confident rating exists, or an outlet is genuinely centrist or state-aligned, it is shown as Center.
