A guide to using news databases for media analysis, content analysis, and text mining.

I'm Looking for a Specific Newspaper and Date Range. Which Database is It In?

I Want to Search Multiple Newspapers at Once. Which Databases Should I Use?

Search multiple newspapers and news transcripts with one search using news aggregator databases. Each database offers slightly different title lists and interfaces for searching, viewing, and downloading articles. The database(s) you use will depend on your sample and database interface preferences.

Databases have limits on the number of articles you can download at a time and the number of articles you can download per session/day. The information below is the best to our knowledge, but features can change with little notice. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
