News Articles

Searching For: Where to Look: What Search Terms to Use: What to Look For:
News Articles (Study Design) Newspapers via library databases (ProQuest’s US Newsstream database works best for most projects).  Only search the newspapers you chose in your study design (e.g. New York Times, Wall Street Journal, & USA Today). The search terms from your study design—a term or set of terms that you’re confident would be in every newspaper article written about your event/issue but would eliminate most articles about other events/issues from the same time period.  “Media” and “bias” should not be included in your search terms. All of the newspaper articles that result from your study.  You should narrow the date range and publications so you get between 20-40 articles.  Read and analyze all of them to determine the answer to your research question and report your full results in your paper.  Choose five of these 20-40 articles to analyze in your paper.
