NewspaperARCHIVE .com, the largest newspaper database available online, has provided a free archive on the history of Martin Luther King, Jr. The archive includes stories from days of the Montgomery bus boycott, the I Have A Dream speech, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination on April 4, 1968, and thousands of other headlines on the civil rights leader. Newspaper databases may include abstracts and full-text databases of single newspapers, or they can include abstracts and full-text articles for a selection of several, or even dozens of, different newspapers. Most major, regional and specialized newspapers have Web sites that include some form of full-text database. Newspapers chronicle the slowly changing climate and the actions that have affected that change. The Global Warming Archive provides access to thousands of articles on the environment and the scientists who documented its change. Newspaper articles generally contain sentences and paragraphs that are short and direct. Most paragraphs in news articles contain a maximum of three sentences. Newspapers are well positioned to deliver the news, be it in print or online. Even as they jockey for the right balance between print and online information, they have the resources and staff — and the skills, disposition, discernment, and connections to their communities — to responsibly gather and share information and educate readers. Newspapers are the last mass media. Radio, cable, magazines, broadcast TV and all the other niches media are reaching a fragmented audience. Newspaper publishers large and small are keen to satisfy this consumer need, as well as find profitable business models in the new age of mobile media. Many are learning that the addition of a mobile site not only extends reach, but can also create a new revenue stream.
