International Newspapers and Research
Micaela Waldman · The Serials Librarian · 2004
International newspapers can provide a wealth of information to researchers. However, because of their size and the quality of the paper, newspapers are not usually preserved, and the more local a newspaper is, the less is the chance it will be available in alternative formats, or indexed. News databases would seem to provide a solution to this problem, but an analysis of the non-English language sources available from Lexis-Nexis Academic Universeshows that few daily newspapers are included, and most have only a limited backfile available.
