There are many databases within the Ebscohost platform you can use to locate articles on your topics.
It is probably best to start with the Academic Search Ultimate database and the MasterFile Premier database and then add others for your specific topic. Search them at the same time to remove duplications.
For example, any topic dealing with education should be searched in Academic Search Complete and MasterFILE Premier and also Education Source.
Media issues - add Communication and Mass Media Complete
Women - add Women's Studies International
See the various topics tabs
To search multiple databases get into Academic Search Ultimate first, then click on - choose databases - and add the others.

The best database for environmental articles is not an Ebscohost database. You will need to use the Web of Science database.
The best database for legislation (bills, house/senate committee prints, hearings, crs reports) is not an Ebscohost database. You will need to use the Congressional Publications, a database from Proquest, a different platform.
