Optional: choose specific newspapers to include or exclude.

If you hover over the name of a newspaper, two boxes will appear 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.

Finding News Articles in a Particular Database

We have some databases that specialize in newspapers and news magazines. 

Some of our academic databases also include newspapers. For instance, in Academic Search Complete, you can select "Newspaper" as the type of publication you want to find.

Finding Articles in an Online 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 than other services.

To search within a particular website, type site:[site URL] without spaces then add a single space before typing in your keywords.

For example:

site:https://www.nytimes.com weather
