Sources of News Articles:
Newspaper articles are not scholarly or
professional information and not acceptable in many Sociology
assignments. Most Sociology faculty will expect their students to use
scholarly journals
as a basis for research.
However, for certain types of assignments, you may require news
articles on your topic.
The following indexes are all good places to look for news articles. If
you are unsure as to the type of material which will be accepted, be sure to talk
to your professor or ask at the Reference Desk.
