Optional to choose specific newspapers to include or exclude: if you hover over the name of a newspaper, you will see two boxes next to each title. If you check the open boxes on the left side, that tells OneSearch to ONLY INCLUDE results from those titles.

If you check the red boxes with a line through them on the right side, that tells OneSearch to EXCLUDE results from those titles.

Use Google to search within a specific newspaper

Many websites, even good ones, have less-than-excellent ways to search within their webpages.

Google tends to do a better job searching within websites.

To search within a particular website, type site:www.URLofwebsite.com [<--- notice no spaces there!] then a space, and then your keywords.

For example:

screenshot of search for site:www.nytimes.com transgender portrayals television

You can limit the dates by clicking on the word "tools":

Note:

  • there is no space between the colon after site and the URL,
  • but there is a space between site:www.URLof website.com and your keywords
