Hinweis der Redaktion
- What this session does not cover: assumes your continuing awareness of the potential bias of reporting in newspapers. Highlight that the session is not looking at newspapers from the point of view of a specific use. Different attendees will have different uses for them:- Facts and details about current opinion Views and opinion on the same Social Sciences students may use as a resource to extract and analyse comment, opinion through tools such as Nvivo. Letters and opinion pieces Profiles Business reporting, news, profiles and data Language and linguistics Political analysis Historic research – BMDs, opinion (private and public), events, commentary, political tracts etc.
- Various resources vary in coverage in different aspects: Scale (is your research interest geo-specific in coverage. Some resources may cover national news only, whilst others may include regional or local news). Language (Most coverage will be english language news, but some resources also cover multiple titles from other countries in native languages – eg Nexis covers over 50 national and regional German newspapers. But searching in English may be limited) Currency (Different resources will offer access to varying range of online coverage of newspaper content. We will come back to looking at more historic news content, but many ‘recent’ online collections may only go back to the 1990s and 1980s. Think also about the currency – For example, Times newspapers and FT may sit behind a paywall on the web, but we have access through some subscription databases. What you may find however is that even here, news content may not be available until after a certain point on the day of publishing – eg FT after 11am only on Nexis?)
- Point out access point from library website: Services and Sites / Other Online Resources / News Resources Titles range in coverage from 1980s / mid-1990s to present (although some include content from earlier than this for some titles). Lack of context (eg articles exploring different aspect of same topic may be separated) and text only (may lack fact/text boxes accompanying main article, will definitely lack accompanying images and graphics). … but, useful to search multiple titles at once, identify key articles of interest… and can then use this information to see if can access articles on publishers own site separately. InfoTrac: Gale CENGAGE Learning: Full-Text Custom Newspaper Database - Coverage for Durham Uni: - Daily Telegraph 11/99 - current - Guardian 1/96 - current - Independent 1/96 - current - Independent on Sunday 1/96 - current - Observer 1/96 - current - Sunday Telegraph 11/99 - current - Sunday Times 1/85 - current - Times 1/85 - current. N.B. – up to previous day, not todays news. Nexis UK - Much larger number of resources (international, regional, local… and including present day) - Not just newspapers… includes global newswires, business wires etc. So important to select sources carefully before searching. Factiva – explain about separate login. Like Nexis, international content. Not as much UK content if looking at regional and local titles, but still from 545 UK Newspapers. Content from publications in 22 languages. Point out option to search social media.
- Demo: Library Catalogue searches (DawsonEra / Netlibrary / MyiLibrary)
- Suggestion: locate an article, follow the citations. Possibly compare to other articles published in the same year. Then, compare the article on Google Scholar, explore some of the citations.
- Expanding your search is about two things: Thinking about all possible terms/spellings/concepts which might be applicable to what you are looking at, to ensure you don’t accidentally rule out any useful result simply due to semantics. If you have focussed a search too much, and aren’t finding the results you expect, about widening your net to see what else you can find. You’ll have some keywords in mind but as few of you will be experts in this area you will need to think about how others have framed research in this field. You will find that the keywords you use will change once you start looking for information and finding relevant resources. You can borrow their search terms and add to your list. synonyms: e.g. survey or questionnaire – make sure you don’ British and American spellings: use wildcards e.g. colo?r finds colour and color truncation: e.g. educati* finds education, educating, educationalist
- Times Digital Archive 1785-2006 Scanned pages = see news in context Search by article type Search vacuum cleaner in advertising British Newspapers 1600-1900 Two collections: C17th & 18th; C19th View pages or articles Varying coverage - e.g. Newcastle Journal only one issue but Newcastle Courant over 4000 issues Asks ‘stop running this script’ say no Browse publication by location England NE Newcastle

- Mention coverage might be across multiple services, so always check the library catalogue (use Times Literary Supplement as an example) TLS: Archive back to 1902 available via the same platform (works in a similar way rather than actually looking the same) as infotrac. TLS, TES and ThES: need different passwords, available from library catalogue screen (not Durham CIS password). Economist: NB – on web page indicates 1997-current only. In fact, we have a full text archive back to 1843 via the same platform (works in a similar way rather than actually looking the same) as infotrac. [screenshot on next hidden slide] JISC Media hub: TV news, documentary films, still images and classical music and includes the contents of Film & Sound Online and Newsfilm online. The films are of high quality, and are fully downloadable, either in full or as segments, and can be used freely in learning, teaching and research. News on film: Documents almost 160,000 individual stories from twenty-two cinema newsreels and cinemagazines, 1910-1983. Mention when you first access, won’t be given immediate access to films. May need to click on ‘Movietone’ logo and login/register. Offer to demo for anyone accessing it during hands-on. [screenshot on upcoming hidden slide]

- Individual newspapers e.g. BBC Additional sources e.g. Radio Free Europe /Radio Liberty report the news in 21 countries where a free press is banned by the government or not fully established. Generic search engines advanced options (eg Google) News-specific search engines Silobreaker Silobreaker is a search service for news and current affairs that aims to provide more relevant results to the user than what traditional search and aggregation engines have been offering so far. Instead of returning just lists of articles matching a search query, Silobreaker finds people, companies, organisations, topics, places and keywords; understands how they relate to each other in the news flow, and puts them in context through graphical results in its intuitive user interface. Only the news-search service is free. The site pulls content on global issues, science, technology, energy and business from thousands of news sources, blogs, multimedia, and other forms of news media from around the world. With the engine’s focus on finding and connecting related data in the information flow, Silobreaker’s user tools and visualisations are ideal for bringing meaning to content from either today’s Web or the evolving Semantic Web, or both NewsNow, Simmly operate in similar ways, searching multiple news and social media sources, online news sites, press wires and press announcements from private, public and third sectors.
