News sources (newspapers, magazines, news blogs, news broadcasts, news feeds, etc.) are written by reporters and journalists on topics of current interest.
When and Why You Should Use News Sources:
Remember: Not all news sources are created equal! Some have hidden (or obvious!) biases or motives. Do some background research into who owns the news organization to learn more about it.
Best bets for news databases: If you have a topic in mind, use these databases to search across U.S. and international newspapers, tv and radio transcripts, blog content, and more. For the most part, you can expect to find full-text coverage going back to about 1980, but coverage may vary by title.
Select daily or weekly news sources available full-text online through Temple:
Keep in mind, these are text-based versions of the news stories. Any photographs, images, or multimedia are not included.
* Late edition, East Coast = includes text-based content that appears in the print, East Coast version of The New York Times. Similar content may (or may not) appear in the online edition on a different date with a different title. Sometimes, it's good practice to check both editions.
** Online edition = includes text-based content that appears in the website version of The New York Times. Similar content may (or may not) appear in the late edition on a different date with a different title. Sometimes, it's good practice to check both editions.
