Depends where you read. Also how do you read the news of 50 or 100 years ago - isn't that more difficult.
I use UK news sites. BBC Guardian and Telegraph all have their old articles online
- ricardobeat 4y agoOne of the functions of public libraries is to archive the news. One could browse weekly papers going back decades, either as hard copies or microfilm. There's a good chance major city libraries still do that, or have digital scans. For example: https://www.chipublib.org/resources-types/newspaper/ https://www.chipublib.org/resources-types/newspaper/
