Global News From Leading Publishers with Trusted Content From Today Back to 1700s

ProQuest News stands as a beacon of verified information in today's complex media landscape, providing researchers access to authenticated primary source content spanning from the present day back to the 1700s. This comprehensive solution delivers trusted coverage that often serves as the first or only documentation of significant events throughout history.

ProQuest has built the world's most comprehensive news collection for libraries by partnering with respected global publishers, including prestigious titles like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Le Monde, and many others.

News sources are used by every type of researcher, from novice to advanced, because they provide coverage of topics in every discipline. And in many cases, they are the best or only source of information on a topic.

Value for Researchers

    • Comprehensive Coverage: Because of their varied coverage, newspapers are invaluable to researchers across all disciplines. They contain content relevant to virtually every subject matter—history, politics, arts, business, science and more—making them essential primary sources for students and scholars seeking information on both current issues and historical events.
    • Critical Context: News content provides critical context that broadens researchers' scope for insight and learning. Issues and events can be examined within the framework of how they originally unfolded, offering a multidimensional sense of the era being explored.
    • Multiple Perspectives: Newspapers deliver unique first-hand accounts from regional, national, and international perspectives, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of events over time.
    • Current Awareness: Current news content keeps researchers connected to emerging developments in their fields, fostering awareness of the wider impact of their work both academically and in the world at large.
