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.
Module 4 will show you how to locate newspaper articles from our online databases.
Use a Newspaper to
- find current information about international, national and local events
- find editorials, commentaries, expert or popular opinions
Examples of Newspapers
- Dallas Morning News
- Wall Street Journal
- New York Times
- USA Today
