Newspapers

Newspapers provide articles each day about current events and are a good source for local information.

Newspapers, like journals and magazines, are called "periodicals" because they are published regularly, or periodically.

Use a Newspaper

• to find current information about international, national and local events
• to find editorials, commentaries, expert or popular opinions

Examples

You can search for newspaper articles through print indexes or online databases. You can find newspaper articles in electronic format, print, or microform. Several newspapers are made available to you by subscriptions purchased by the ELAC Library. Many newspapers have their own web sites with today's news, and sometimes they provide earlier, popular articles free.
