Finding Media Sources

Sometimes it can feel difficult knowing where to find good quality news sources. For most people, news comes to us on a smartphone or social media. Posts appear and disappear as fleetingly as newspaper. However, sometimes you may need to refer to news in your assignments, for example, maybe you read about some important research or heard a television news item that you think will inform your argument, but you can’t remember when or where you saw it. Sometimes you can find the information via a Google search, but other times the news will be hidden behind paywalls for subscribers only.  Understanding which sources you can access via your uni computing account and how you can use it critically is useful.
