Here’s a whole bunch of newspaper front pages from all over the world – all covering the recent Obama victory in the US presidential elections. It does seem like the world is swept over by this significant victory – it is surely a momentous chapter – though at the back of my mind, I’m also asking “would there also be similar avalanche of front page all devoted to the election results, if it was not Obama?”

The elections for US president is certainly a major news item in most parts of the world and worthy of headlines by itself – did the Obama phenomenon actually convince more to feature this result more prominently? Or is this simply a natural picture of the day after elections?
