A newspaper is a collection of articles about current events usually published daily. Since there is at least one in every city, it is a great source for local information. Newspapers, like journals and magazines, are called "periodicals" because they are published on a regular or periodic basis.

Lexis Nexis Academic Search Premier contains, among other things, access to newspapers within the United States and around the world. Lexis Nexis is updated daily, so it is a great place to find articles. Other indexes, such as Proquest Research Library, have access to newspapers as well.
