About News Sources
News articles from magazines (such as Time or Newsweek) or newspapers can be helpful if you are looking to supplement your research with information about current events.
However, they should not be used in place of scholarly research from journal articles.
For more information about finding journal articles, go to the Find Journal Articles page.
