SpotlightNews Premium includes access to recent (2021-present) articles from the Philadelphia Inquirer and other news publications. It includes online-only content from the Inquirer website that may be different than the print edition versions we have access to through other databases. The articles are mainly text-only with limited images.
SpotlightNews functions best using the mobile app version, where you can add the Philadelphia Inquirer to your personal news feed. In order to select the Inquirer, first choose a couple of topics to follow on the initial set up screen. Then select "explore" and search for the Philadelphia Inquirer by name and choose to "follow" the publication.
SpotlightNews works best as a current news feed for the Inquirer, rather than a tool for searching for older news articles.
