Chipwrapper.co.uk is a great new tool for journalists. It’s a customised version of the Google search engine that allows you to focus your search on UK newspaper websites. It works exactly like Google News, except it restricts its searches to the nine leading national newspapers (Guardian, Times, Mirror ect ..) Perfect for seeing whose covering what.. Dead simple. Really effective.Great name.

What a brilliant ‘little’ website and idea, well executed too and inspiring!
I’ve been toying around with some new projects lately and this certainly gives me some food for thought – cheers Sean.
Nice looking chips too, which reminds me, I’m starving
