Newspapers at SCU Library
News sources can be used to keep track of and get perspective on events, as well as provide opinion and editorial pieces about those events. You can also use a news story as an illustration or example, and to create emotional appeals in your writing. In CTW1 we explored how news sources vary in their reliability and perspective, so remember to always engage with those sources critically.
