Best databases for recent newspapers

These databases generally cover time periods starting from the 1990s or early 2000s onward. Starting date of coverage for individual newspaper titles or newswires within each database varies, so check within the database for details. 

They contain the full-text of news stories. Newspaper images are not included in these particular UOW databases.

How to access recent news articles with images

For recent news content, UOW databases do not contain images such as photos, graphs, cartoons, advertisements.

If you're looking for recent news stories or content try:

  • a newspaper's own website to see what is freely available to you without using their (fee-based) paywall
  • news aggregator websites (such as Google News) which combine syndicated content from various news agencies and, in some cases, let you limit results to a specific newspaper title
  • your local public, state or national library 'digital edition' (print replica) newspaper databases.
