Databases With Newspaper Articles
Most newspapers belong to the mainstream presses,
those usually owned by corporations, and are aimed to a
general audience. Those are available in the
subscription databases
Newspapers Source Plus,
Nexis
Uni, and
Regional Business
News.
Other
newspapers belong to the alternative presses, those that
are funded by non-profits or small companies. They tend to
cover stories and have viewpoints that may not appear as often in
the mainstream press. They are sometimes aimed to specific
audiences such as people who live in urban areas, environmentalists,
feminists, pacifists, and ethnic groups. Those
newspapers can be found in the subscription databases,
ProQuest Diversity Databases. |
