On November 5, 2008, the day after the United States elected Democratic Senator Barack Obama to be its 44th president, newspapers around the world dedicated front-page space to the historic news. Covers depicted various aspects of the campaign and the president-elect, including the historical significance of the nation's first black president, a new era of "change" and the impact of the results on the rest of the world. The Washington, D.C.-based museum of news, the Newseum, archived the front pages, available here. To view a clickable collage of the images, click here or on the image below.
