I Am Looking for Newspaper Articles
Newspapers include:
- Coverage of current or very recent events
- Eyewitness accounts of an event
- In-depth coverage of local issues (in local or regional newspapers)
- The public's reaction to a specific event or issue
- The media's current portrayal, or portrayal over time, of a specific issue
Many newspapers are on the open Web, but some have paywalls for older issues or offer a limited amount of free access per month.
Accessing newspapers through the Libraries:
IUB Libraries provides online access to many newspapers. Search for a newspaper by title in the Libraries catalog IUCAT. (Some older historical newspapers may be unavailable online, but still in our print of microform collections. Ask a Librarian if you need help locating a specific publication.)
Newspapers can also be found in many of the Libraries' databases. In our largest multidisciplinary database OneSearch@IU, limit to 'News' (under 'Source Type' on the search results page).
