Four of them:
1. From the Montreal Gazette, a paper in the city where Conrad Black was born: an item predicting that the jury selection will wrap up today, with a slightly different version of Judge St. Eve's explanation for the two extra alternate jurors than the one found in the post previous to this one. Quite a few other news Sites have published a substantially similar item.
2. From a Chicago TV station, CBS2 Chicago: a precis of the trial, with the not-newsy-up-here factoid that Conrad Black don't back down from a fight.
3. An item that contains four prominent potential witnesses, with the surprising disclosure that Henry Kissinger isn't on the list, even though Donald Trump is. Also on are three Canadians: an old friend and associate, Peter White; the current editor and publisher of Maclean's [its trial page here], Ken Whyte; and, funnily enough (given Conrad Black's own political views and style), Allan Rock, a dyed-in-the-wool Liberal and Cabinet Minister under Conrad Black's old foe, former Prime Minister Jean Chretien. [Official statement by the former PM about Black's citizenship here.]
(Latest word: Mr. Rock was put on the list by Peter Atkinson, not Conrad Black.)
4. Two markedly unsympathetic articles, one from Montreal and one from Australia. The first tries to match Conrad Black's "arrogance" with condescension; the second is more plainspokenly hostile.
