Worldwide newspaper coverage from the past forty years.
Newspapers are a rich information source and can also raise the quality of the research in many academic areas. Contemporaneous reports of an incident, reported in a reputable news source quickly become sources for historical research; how a new law is received, how political events change a country, what impact financial markets have on a society…
Newspapers can inform, inspire, confirm, contextualise.
