Keep in mind the difference between the Quick News Search and the Guided News Search.
Quick News Search covers a huge set of newspapers for the last two years only. In contrast, Guided News Search allows you to search from specific categories over the last twenty years or more. Categories include
General News Today's News
U.S. News World News
News Wires News Transcripts
Arts & Sports News Non-English Language News
Business News Legal News
University News Medical News
Also, the Guided Search connects you with a full range of medical, legal, business, and reference full text sources.
A good site for free recent content is Home Town News. Keep in mind that the content may span only the last few weeks or months. In contrast, Lexis-Nexis spans decades.
If you are conducting research on events before the 1980s, you might consider consulting the Online New York Times (1851-2002). This service offers full page and article images with searchable full text back to the first issue. We also own the full run of the New York Times since 1851 on microfilm.
The premier source of full text newspaper content spanning a variety of US cities and around the world is available via Lexis-Nexis
