Film and Media Studies 250: Video News Reporting

Catalyst is a great place to start looking for background information. Use Catalyst's filtering menu (along the left of your search results) to make the most of your search.  You can mix and match all of the filters to customize your search results.

Use the Material Type filter to limit the kind of resource you want -- for example, you might only want to see newspaper articles.

Use the Publication Date filter to find materials from a particular date range -- for example, maybe you only want the last ten years of data.  Make sure to click "refine" to tell Catalyst to run the filter

Always check the list of Subjects. This will help you find results that not only include your initial search term, but also the subject term you select.  The number in parentheses indicates how many results include that term. The subjects in the list will vary depending on your initial search term; this list is full of biology terms because the initial search term was "GMO foods."

Databases aren't just for research papers! You can also use them to access recent news articles as well as gain access to business information.

Here is the complete list of news databases you can access through the Library, including historical news databases not listed above.
