News story archives

Many newspapers archive stories online, but there can be problems relying on these sites. First, some papers charge for archives that are older than a couple of weeks. Second, many archives are incomplete. Thus, they don't always include what you are looking for. A better archive for major newspapers is Lexis Nexis, available free from the CSUN library home page.
