One of the biggest drawbacks with these searchable databases of news is their slim coverage of older material. Yet more of the news sites, from Pathfinder's Time to local newspapers, are establishing ever-deeper archives. Since none of the search engines cover all the archives, they need to be searched separately. Just go directly to their Web site. Arranged by state, the basic table format features the name of the paper, its city, links to the archives, date range of the archive, and cost, if any.
News is a popular information commodity on the Web.
While many sites offer top headlines for browsing, researchers looking for more details can delve into these news search engines for a look beyond the headlines. Online Inc. All rights reserved.
