Crosswire: World Front Pages
Compare news, side by side
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Election week? Put three national front pages side by side and watch the same day get framed three different ways. 907 newsrooms, 186 countries, no algorithm.
Crosswire puts the world's front pages side by side, exactly as their editors published them.
No feed. No algorithm. No summaries. Two, three or four live newspaper home pages on one screen, so you can see for yourself what a country's press is leading with today — and how differently it can be framed.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Every other news app decides what you should read. Crosswire decides nothing. It shows you the front page a newsroom built, in its own layout and its own hierarchy, next to a rival's. What one paper splashes across the top, another may not carry at all. That gap is the story, and you can only see it side by side.
LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT — IN ONE TAP
For every country with enough sources, Crosswire has curated comparisons: a left-leaning, a centrist and a right-leaning outlet, chosen from a directory of 907 newsrooms with approximate editorial leanings drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments. Open a country and the spectrum is already arranged. These comparisons are free, in every country, forever.
READ THE WORLD IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Translate any front page in place, into 16 languages, while it keeps its original layout. Read Le Monde in English, the Frankfurter Allgemeine in Spanish, Asahi Shimbun in French — and still see which story the editors put first.
BUILT FOR PHONES AND TABLETS
On a phone, panes stack and stay readable. On an iPad — in Split View, in landscape, in any window size — they sit side by side. Two front pages are free; Crosswire Pro adds as many as the device can hold. Rotate, resize, split: the layout follows the window, never a guess about your device.
KNOW WHO YOU'RE READING
Every one of the 907 outlets has a profile: what it is, who publishes it, its format, and its approximate editorial leaning, with a plain-English caution about what those labels can and cannot tell you. The whole directory works offline, and it's published as an open dataset under CC BY 4.0.
