There are scans of old newspapers going back ages, and current ones also. Stop using the web, it sucks ass. Use ProQuest and other similar databases. Web searches are wastes of time for most things. Google wants to train you to believe research is not a skill and that you can get usually get good information from the open web. Neither of those points are true.
- b112 4y agoYou may not read this it has been a couple of days, but thought I should reply. I am not sure why you replied to my comment l, with talk about not using the web, google, etc. After all, I specifically said that trusting web bawed properties is an issue. And you seem to have missed a key part of my comment, the state of paper based newspapers today. They're dying. Huge, multi-millon dollar, national newspaper corps, which used to have Saturday newspapers 2 or 3cm thick, when I was a kid, are now a mere 1/2 cm if lucky. Many local newspapers are gone. Just gone. The ones which remain, are barely standing on their feet. So my comment, re archival, is that old methods of scanning phycial newspapers are not viable, and getting worse yearly.
