In our new OneSearch database (the search box on the library homepage), type in a search. But before clicking on Search, use the menu at right to select "Newspapers Only." Then click Search. Like this:
Once you're in the database looking at the results, you can limit the results to articles from the past year by using the "Publication Date" feature on the left of the results screen. For instance, you can limit to 2023-2024.
Your assignment may ask you to identify a news article that discusses a current event or social issue that relates to your field of study.
If so, first decide on a topic based on your real-life experience with your field of study, or your knowledge of recent news, then do a search based on that.
For example, if your field of study is information technology, you could try a search like this:
online AND privacy
If your field of study is human resources, you could try a search like this:
"equal pay"
Almost any simple keyword search on a general topic in your field of study should bring up news articles that you can use.
