Save Money at the Library

Newspapers have joined the trend in requiring subscriptions to access and read content on their websites. Instead of paying a few dollars every month to access the news for research, consider accessing them through the UNT Libraries' collections. Many databases include newspapers in them, and as a student, your library fees already grant you access to their content.

This page is designed to introduce you to finding newspapers through the UNT Databases so you do not have to purchase subscriptions to news websites. This will save you money! There are a few different ways that you can access newspapers from the UNT Libraries’ website. The instructions below show the two main ways to access newspapers.

Tip for Success

Please note that searching for news in databases will not give you the same browsability as searching on the newspapers’ website. You will need to think about your search methods in the same manner that you do when doing searches for scholarly articles.

Option 1: Find a Database with Newspapers via Database A-Z

Go the the A-Z Database list on the UNT Libraries' website.
Click on the “All Database Types” dropdown box and select “Newspapers.”
This will list all of the databases we provide access to that specialize in newspapers. Select the one that best matches your needs. Recommendations include Access World News, NexisUni, and PressReader.

Option 2: Find a Newspaper by Title

Go to the UNT Libraries' Discover catalog.
Next to the search bar, there is a drop-down that defaults to "Look in: All Fields." Change this to "Title."
Enter the title of the newspaper in the search box and click search.
In the list of Filters on the left side of the page, select "Newspapers" under the category "Resource Type."
Click on the hyperlinked name of the newspaper from the list of results.
On the page for the newspaper, there will be a list of databases that provide access to that newspaper.
Review the date range of coverage provide by the database list. Use the dates and database options to select a database of choice. Click on the “Find It” button to access the database. You will then be taken to the database landing page.
