Find News & Newspapers

A guide to introduce news and newspapers resources

Why News Matters


News or newspaper articles intend to describe an event, providing facts about what happened and who was involved. They are written by reporters and journalists and are for the general public to acquire the latest information on events.

Newspapers can also be a great source for conducting primary research. For example, you are working on a recent local issue with very little research done so far. News and newspapers can then offer you first-hand information to support your arguments and analysis.
