News Databases at Cressman Library

Academic Video Online has collections of archival television news. These include 60 Minutes, American Newsreels in Video, BBC Video Collection, CBS News Video Archive, and CNN News Collection.

NewsBank provides access to both national and international publications. The Map Search option allows users to browse by continent and country. This is the best option for finding full-text coverage. 

Independent Voices is a digital collection that is available through JSTOR. Although these are mostly historical publications, they show the power of the press to document times of conflict. 

U.S. Major Dailies is the ProQuest database that provides access to The New York Times, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. Although these are all based in the United States, they cover international events as well.
