NewsLibrary
NewsLibrary is an online news database operated by NewsBank that houses a conglomeration of news from over "4,000 outlets in the United States", most of which are "traditional" sources of news coverage, such as "newspapers and television stations".[1] A total of over 7,700 different newspapers are included in the article database.[2] The database itself allows a user to input a search term and then narrow the listed search by date, region and newspaper, with the earliest possible articles to find being from the early 1980s.[3] The site charges a fee for viewing the content, which is done on a pay-per-article scale, with each article costing $2.95.[4] The cost of viewing articles is charged to an individual's account on a monthly basis, there are also membership options, either 25 articles a month ($19.95) or 500 articles a year ($199.95).[4]
Originally developed by Knight Ridder,[5] It is described as a successor to the web archive VU/TEXT that was owned by Knight Ridder and shut down in 1996.[6] NewsLibrary was purchased by NewsBank in 2001.[7]
NewsLibrary differs from other news databases in that the site allows the user to input a date, region, and newspaper, but nothing in the search bar; this brings up all of the articles published within the narrowed selection string, rather than searching for the use of a term or phrase within an article.[8]
