News About Newspapers

Newspapers can be a wonderful source of both primary and secondary information. For primary research, make sure the articles come from the actual time period of the event or person you're researching. They can give you first hand accounts of events, people, places, etc., but they can also provide an excellent view of the environment surrounding your research subject.
