In busy newsrooms, access to timely and accurate information is critical. NewsBank is committed to satisfying the diverse research requirements of reporters, researchers and other staff in this deadline-driven environment through two indispensable tools: archives of their own publications and a variety of comprehensive, Web-based news and information resources.

News happens everywhere
Essential information may exist in sources across town, throughout the U.S. or around the world. Significantly, the information required for a story may also be hidden in the backfiles of your own publication. Regardless, newsroom staff must be able to gain access to the source of essential information as soon as possible, in part because local, staff-written coverage is often the most thorough and authoritative.

Current and archived content from publications worldwide
Updated daily, NewsBank’s tools for newsrooms provide current and archived content from more than 2,000 news sources globally, empowering reporters and editors to pinpoint information and perform a broad range of background research. NewsBank offers products based on the world largest, fastest-growing newspaper database—America’s Newspapers and Access World News. Additionally, through NewsBank, newsrooms can benefit from Web-based access to other news sources such as newswires, broadcast transcripts, news translations from more than 50 countries, popular magazines and journals, along with a variety of specialized resources that provide content specific to certain subjects—business, military and government, obituaries, content written in Spanish and much more.

Gain competitive advantage
NewsBank enables reporters, researchers and others to zero in on the sources closest to the story and track its development over time. Complementing internal access to your publication’s archives, NewsBank’s newsroom research tools provide authoritative and comprehensive coverage no other Web-based resources can match. This provides your newsroom with competitive advantage: staff can search and browse not only rival newspapers, but also news sources to which competitors may not have access.
