Where have all the newspapers gone?

People often come to the library looking for newspapers from other cities.  Most libraries only carry a handful of newspapers in paper due to cost and lack of storage.  Current issues of other papers can often be found on the newspaper’s website, but past issues can be harder to find. 

 

• Check out the library’s newspaper databases for hundreds of out-of-town and foreign papers. 
• Archival coverage varies, but can go back as far as 1851, for the New York Times.  For most newspapers, coverage is less than 10 years. 
• Read tomorrow’s news today around the world with Press Display. 

 

Also, look for television and radio news transcripts available in Newsbank and Newspaper Source.
