This is a self-guided tutorial on using newspapers and magazines as primary sources for historical research.
The tutorial comprises a short introduction, followed by a series of exercises.
Finally, the exercises will give you a chance to see both the advantages and disadvantages of working with digitized surrogates for print-based historical artifacts.
All of the articles in these exercises were originally issued in print, and are presented here in digitized versions.
The tutorial comprises a series of activities that guide you through the process of examining newspaper and magazine articles, and evaluating them for reliability, accuracy, currency, and bias.
After you complete this tutorial, you should be able to look at a magazine or newspaper article, describe its different parts precisely, understand what information those parts are meant to convey to the reader, and, most importantly, make an informed judgment as to how accurately it documents the historical event or phenomenon you are researching.Detailed information on how Wiley uses cookies can be found in our Privacy Policy.
