International newspapers are an excellent geographical teaching resource. They allow one to see what is going on around the world and see new viewpoints.
Earlier Catholicgauze linked to the Newseum's flash page of newspaper front covers. The one drawback was only seeing the front page. World Newspapers and Magazines makes up for this. This site links to English language newspapers and magazines around the world. One can sort through by country, region, or magazine topic. Three random sources to start off with are the Cook Islands News; the Cape Argus from Cape Town, South Africa; and The Irish News from Northern Ireland.

I hear from my Arabic-speaking friends that frequently the Arabic and English language versions of the same website have dramatically different stories and analysis. That'd be an interesting research project.
One good English language newspaper is the Daily Star from Beirut:
