Accessing digital newspapers through the library

Online access to newspaper articles from UK newspapers; broadsheets, tabloids and regional news sources.  

The Good

  • Keyword search across national and local news content
  • See how articles are composed 
  • Compare how stories are reported 
  • Generous archive, some include from 80s onwards

The Bad

  • Only displays the raw text and data. No photographs and images.

Web News sources

To source additional news content that are either not indexed in the database, or for additional content including images and video news reports, there are a number of online news sources that can be accessed without paywalls or offering some content access, either using a search engine or navigating directly to them.
