Links to articles from thousands of publishers and magazines. Especially useful for comparing different news sources' coverage of current events.
- Tip: Click the arrow on the right side of the search box at the top to access advanced search options.
- Note: Like regular Google Search, Google News searches just the "surface web," so you'll likely hit paywalls. To get full access to articles from many major news outlets, search publication and article titles in the library sources listed below.

UMD news databases can be useful for reading current content from major news sources -- including articles assigned in your classes -- without having to pay for a subscription.
