Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Ah- the old time newsboy - shouting the availability of current news. In todays information glut you can read the news before it happens through internet sites of all shades and persuasions.

But if you like to read the news after someone has a chance to check facts and get the timeline straight...then newspapers are for you! Here is one source on GALILEO that is focused on newspaper articles:

Newspaper Source (EbscoHost database) provides current information from daily feeds from the Knight-Ridder/Tribune Business News and Knight-Ridder/Tribune News Service Newspaper Source as well as cover to cover coverage of The Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, The Washington Post, The Times (London), and The Toronto Star. The database also contains selected full text from more than 180 regional (U.S.) newspapers, including The Macon Telegraph, Savannah Morning News, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, The Detroit Free Press, and The Miami Herald. In addition, full text television & radio news transcripts are provided from CBS News.

It doesn't have every article from every paper. I did a spot check for the Atlanta Journal Constitution. It's only available at school.


The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
