Newspapers & Grey Literature

The best way to find newspapers published in a specific country is to search by Publication title. You may have to first research relevant newspapers published in a particular country so you can search for them in the Newspapers Source Plus database.

On the homepage, click on the Publications link

Type the newspaper title into the search bar and click Browse

If the relevant newspaper is available, you can click on the title link to access the archived issues available

You can also search by topic within the newspaper

If you would like to search for a topic within multiple newspapers, follow these steps:

1. browse for them one at a time by title
2. select them by ticking the box
3. click Add to include them in your search strategy - the JN field code is applied and the database will only search for these newspapers
4. click on the green Search button to proceed to the Advanced Search screen, where you can add your search terms

In the Advanced Search screen, you can now add your topics of interest

This database provides access to newspapers from Australia and New Zealand. 

If you would like to find newspaper articles published in a particular country, e.g. New Zealand, you need to use the field code CP for place of publication.

In the Advanced Search screen, enter your topic search term on the first line. On the second line, enter the place of publication using the CP field code, e.g. CP(New Zealand)

In the results screen, click on the Publication title filter on the left-hand side to see the newspapers retrieved by your search.
