Common Crawl has a new news archive started a few months ago (http://commoncrawl.org/2016/10/news-dataset-available/ http://commoncrawl.org/2016/10/news-dataset-available/) and the Internet Archive has had one going for quite a while.
- The_ed17 10y agoThanks for this! I'm talking about old scanned newspapers. :-) The Internet Archive has a good start, but it's pretty heavy on Kentucky, and few have in-text search available, which is killer if you're researching an event with few/no specific dates. (That's not to knock them—IA is pretty amazing, and OCRing newspapers is notoriously difficult.)
