newspapers

Newspapers provide articles about current events and are a good source for local, national and international news and information.

Newspapers, like journals and magazines, are called "periodicals" because they are published regularly—for example, daily or weekly.

You can find newspapers in print or microfilm format, or in online research databases. For instance, from the CSN Library web page, click on "Find Articles and Research Information" to search the database called Newspaper Source from Ebsco, or see recent years of the New York Times in the Opposing Viewpoints database. Many newspapers have their own websites and feature some daily articles for free but may provide older articles only for a fee. If you have a question about the bias of a particular newspaper, ask a Librarian.
