A Note about News Sources
Even though news sources attempt to report the facts, never assume that they are unbiased and complete. News sources ALWAYS have a particular editorial view point. For instance look at the Times London coverage of events compared to a US and a Middle Eastern country's paper. Some just have a particular view of the world (liberl ,conservative, republican, democrat), some may be controlled by the state, by local politicians or by the owners. Some are influenced by the system of government and by social factors of the envirnoment in which they publish.
Kinds of News Sources
What we own
In general we have paper copies of current issues (about 3 months) of major world and US newspapers. Some examples: New York Times, Times (London), Los Angeles Times, China Daily, LeMonde, Cincinnati Enquirer, Oxford Press. These are keept in the IMC on the third floor of King. We keep some of the newspapers (older issues) on microfilm.
Our news magazines are shelved in the periodicals section in King Library by title.
