Most major cities have a city newspaper. Others rely on news publications with national and international scope.
To find the news of your city online do a web search. You can search for the city and limit to News or you can do a search to see if there is a newspaper from your city - so for example, Paris newspapers.
Also try Front Page, a project in which the daily front pages from newspapers around the world are published. Each links out to the newspaper website for deeper digging.
Finally, for international news, you might try the BBC and Al Jazeera, published in print and multimedia.
Magazines and Newspapers provide a window into the life of a community. That makes them a great source of information for the City Project.
