Why News?

News articles provide up-to-date information on the current issues. Books, scholarly journal articles, and other resources can take a while to write and publish, and having a current snapshot of some issue might be necessary for your research, as news can provide insight into the more nuanced aspects of an overall issue.

A Note about News Sources

A number of the news sources listed below will feature articles written through some sort of lens, or frame. All of the news resources listed below are reputable, but many have a slight slant. It is important to be aware of these as you read the news: what information is being left out? What are they saying? What other information do you need to find on your topic to supplement the first article and provide a well-rounded view of the situation? These are questions you need to consider as you read the news, and all information, really. This is why we cite multiple sources.

Databases

Use a database to search by keyword to locate relevant news articles. This will show you results based on your keywords from a variety of news sources. If you're looking to use a specific news source, see the box to the right to go straight to a source, some of which come recommended by your professor.
