What follows are two sections. The first is a guide to looking for international matters in the printed version of the paper. The second directs you to a guide for looking at The New York Times and the Washington Post online. Be prepared on Tuesday to talk about the printed version of The New York Times. Be prepared on Thursday to talk about the online version of The Times and the Post.
Datelines are at the top of each story.
As you leaf through the other sections of the paper, take note of things international. You usually will find the Sports section at the end of the business section. That's an easy call. Take a look at the stories there and see what sorts of things you learn. See how many about the media.
