Finding Current Events and News Resources

News resources supplement business resources with up-to-date, factual information.

Information from news resources needs to be critically evaluated, as it can contain bias which invalidates its credibility. We recommend that you use the resources recommended by the library.

Recommend resources are listed below. You can also access news databases through the Library Subject Guides or Databases.

If you are unsure whether a news resource is credible, please contact us at:
