How can you find old newspaper articles for free?

I use three methods:The Wayback Machine. This works for Internet content going back to the 1980’s. You need to know the URL for the newspaper, which is probably the current URL. Try it. Check to see if the paper offers an archive of old issues. If so, the links can take you back much farther.Check your selected newspaper’s current website for an archive. For example, The New York Times offers the Times Machine. Over 150 years of NYT!Google search. Most people don’t fully appreciate the power of a search engine. You can form rich queries. Try it. I searched for 1941 newspaper story about Pearl Harbor attack and came up with this:Google search is probably the best way to look for 17th and 18th Century newspapers that have been scanned and included in an archive. But if you are searching for a person by name, try Newspapers.com. (Not free).

What is the best way to access old newspaper articles from the 1940s?

One option is to go to the local library in the town or city where the newspaper was based. It should have copies of all the old papers either in bound volumes, on microfilm or microfiche.Another option, if the newspaper is still in business, is to contact that newspaper and ask if it will allow you to visit its private archive of back issues. Not all papers are eager to open their archives to outsiders, but there’s no harm in asking.

How can I read old newspaper articles online?

Most major newspapers make their newspaper morgue available online. Most require registering and many require payment. Libraries— public and university— often have subscriptions for online newspapers that they make available to their patrons or students. Try your local library and ask them if they have newspapers online and if they have access to the morgues. If that’s not possible, you can sometimes obtain access through community colleges by registering with them. Otherwise, you’ll have to pick your newspaper and follow their requirements.Other options:Join now and save on a Newspapers.com Subscription6 Places To Read Old Newspapers & Archived News OnlineWikipedia:List of online newspaper archives4 Excellent Free Websites To Read Old Newspapers And Magazines OnlineChronicling America " Library of CongressHow to Find Old Newspaper Articles OnlineFree Newspaper Archives in the US

What are those old newspaper article viewers?

It could also be a microfilm reader. Old newspapers are fragile, and they take up a lot of space. They're still being preserved, but for day-to-day searching, they were "photographed" and put on a filmstrip. You load the microfilm on the machine, and you can go from one page to the next. Most have the ability to do some limited scrolling up or down the page, and many can make a Xerox printout.

It's not a perfect system. You can get sort of dizzy as you watch the pages whiz by, and there's no easy way to find a particular article unless you know the date it was published. That's why all large papers, and many smaller ones, have digitized past issues, and they're now searchable in a database. Some papers have digital versions of stories going back over 250 years.

How do I view my comments on Yahoo news articles?

i have the same problem...if you cannot access all your recent comments in one place...then frankly the "new yahoo" sucks....period, end of story. be nice if there is just something i don't understand...but i have looked all over. you CAN go into an article you know you commented on and click on "my comments".....but that only works if you can find the story later. pretty cheesy if you ask me.

What is the best way to find old newspaper articles online?

It depends on the publication itself, the owner’s policies, and whether any other organisation has archived old copies of the newspaper. Many newspapers will have a search function on their website that lets you search for articles by keyword. But in a lot of cases, the digital record won’t go back more than a couple of years, simply because hard copies, not digital, were kept in the past, and companies can’t spare staff to digitise old articles going back decades. Articles with legal issues might also be removed.Some organisations, like libraries, academic institutions or community trusts, might take it upon themselves to catalogue and digitise old newspapers as a community resource. I remember one such request being made with my old newspaper, but the project never got off the ground.

Where can I find shocking news articles which are painful to read?

The internet.

Are old Yahoo News articles archived in some non-public place?

I assume you are trying to find an older Yahoo News article that is not on the site anymore. Some old Yahoo News articles are saved by the Internet Archive's "Wayback Machine," but this is not a complete archive of everything the site has ever had. Also, since it is arranged chronologically, you'll need to know the approximate date of the article in order to find it. See: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ne... As for non-public repositories of Yahoo News items: the most likely location of a complete archive would be on Yahoo's own servers. Unfortunately,Yahoo does not seem to have posted anything about whether they have an internal archive for their news site, or what would be included within it. Even if such an archive exists, they don't appear to have a way for the public to request access.

How do I view my comment history on Yahoo news articles in the new format?

Yeah, they have changed it.

Go to the main Yahoo homepage and find ANY Associated Press or Good Morning America article. Click on it, even if you didn't comment on that particular article.

Below that news article, click 'My Comments' -- that will show you a list of your own comments to whichever articles you've commented on.

Yahoo seems to be experimenting with several commenting formats right now, and who knows what we'll ultimately end up with! The 'notifications' thing (upper right of the screen) now seems to land the user back on the Yahoo! homepage with the 'Sorry ... ' notification, so that's no help.
