World’s Most Unique Newspapers

By Alex in Book & Literature on Feb 1, 2008 at 7:59 pm

From our pal mental_floss blog, who continues to amaze us with neat posts every day, here is a list of 8 Unique Newspapers from around the world. Like this one, for example:

1. Most Extreme Climate:
The Antarctic Sun

The Antarctic Sun serves the scientists and others living and working in Antarctica. Funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, The Antarctic Sun’s topics cover Antarctic current events, the Clothing Distribution Center in New Zealand, Sir Edmund Hillary’s death, and other topics of concern to Antarctica residents. The 10-year-old newspaper is published once a week each austral summer, from mid-October through early-February, with occasional midwinter special editions. All the past issues are available in PDF form on the Sun’s site.

    Whenever I see “Most Unique” it makes me want to shoot somebody.

    But then you’d have the problem of trying to decide how dead they were.

    Sigh. I worked there for 12 years. Antarctica that is. The Sun is just tripe, a mouthpiece for the National Science Foundation and the contractor de jure, Raytheon.

    You’ll only find Politically Correct (from the owners) view of things in the Antarctic Sun.
