How to Read Newspaper Articles Online
Nowadays, many people prefer to get their news online. But with so much information available online, it’s more important than ever to get your news from reputable sources. For some people, that means relying on traditional newspaper outlets. Luckily, plenty of newspapers offer content online. Here’s how to access it.
The New York Times Newspaper
If you want to access The New York Times newspaper online, the good news is that you have a monthly allotment of free articles. However, if you’re a consistent reader, you should look into its subscription options. These include the “Basic Subscription,” which offers unlimited access to articles on any of your devices. You can also opt to add the “Cooking Subscription” or the digital access plus print subscription.
The website is laid out very intuitively, with the home page acting much like the front page of the paper. You can access content online and also through its app.
The Los Angeles Times Newspaper
The Los Angeles Times newspaper offers users three free articles per month on its site. After that, you must sign up for one of its subscriptions. The subscription is billed monthly and gives you unlimited access to all of the content. There are also other bonuses to signing up for a digital subscription, like receiving the Daily eNewspaper, which is just like the print paper but online, plus the chance to add home delivery options. And if you already pay for a regular paper delivery, digital access is included.
The Sunday Times Newspaper
The Sunday Times and The Times offer subscription-based access to online content. One subscription covers both papers, plus access to video content, crosswords and everything in the archive spanning 200 years.
The Seattle Times Newspaper
Reading The Seattle Times newspaper online requires a subscription that is billed weekly. There are several options available, including unlimited digital access. It also offers a package that gives you online access plus physical delivery of just the Sunday paper. That’s a bonus for coupon lovers. Others can opt for a digital and seven-day paper delivery subscription. The digital access includes a copy of the daily paper’s “Print Replica,” which mimics the paper copy.
Free Newspaper Articles Online
If you’re looking for free newspaper articles online, the best way to start is by doing a search on Google News for your keyword. If you gather your news from various sources, the free quota of articles may be enough to help keep yourself informed throughout the month. Some sites offer completely free articles, which are often local newspapers or sites like The Telegraph and The Guardian .

About Chronicling America
On March 7, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell successfully received a patent for the telephone and secured the rights to the discovery. Days later, he made the first ever telephone call to his partner, Thomas Watson. The telephone revolutionized communication by allowing conversations to take place between individuals at different locations. Read more about it!
The information in this guide focuses on primary source materials found in the digitized historic newspapers from the digital collection Chronicling America .

Ask a Librarian
When working with newspapers and magazines, you will likely begin with an article, especially if you are using digitized newspaper and magazine collections, article indexes, or footnote tracking as strategies for discovering primary sources.
All newspaper and magazine articles have authors, but the authors are not always identified. Many articles are unsigned, by which we mean the author remains anonymous. The part of a newspaper article that identifies the author or authors is called the byline , which you can see in the example below. In a newspaper article, the byline will sometimes include the author's affiliation (does he or she work for the newspaper itself, or is he or she a reporter for a newswire service like the Associated Press?) and sometimes even the author's job title (e.g. Crime Reporter). If there is a byline, it can appear in different places--beneath the headline, or sometimes at the end of the article itself.
There is no special name for the part of a magazine article that identifies its author, but as with newspapers, many magazine articles are unsigned. If the article is signed, the author's name can appear beneath the title, or at the end of the article. Unsigned articles have been conventional throughout the history of journalism, though less so after the 19th century. In Britain, the number of unsigned magazine articles written by now-famous authors was so great, that scholars in the 20th century tried to provide attribution for as many of these unsigned articles as possible. The results of their work can be consulted in the Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals .
Magazine articles often have titles, but not always. Sometimes, especially if the article forms part of a special section, it will be untitled.
Newspaper articles technically do not have titles, but headlines . Headlines and titles serve similar functions, but a headline is really one or more line of display type intended to capture the reader's attention. One reason to understand that headlines are not the same as titles is that a newspaper article reprinted from a newswire service like the Associated Press will often have completely different headlines, depending on the newspaper in which it is printed. The headline chosen for such an article can sometimes reveal information about the newspaper's editorial stance.
Finally, a newspaper article will often have a dateline . An article's dateline is the part of the article that identifies the location from which the reporter filed the article. It can also refer to the date the article was filed with the newspaper, but the word primarily refers to the location. Not every article will carry a dateline, but if it does, you can use that information to decide how near the author was to the event he or she is reporting. For example, in the newspaper article below, we might interpret the reporter's information differently if the article carried a London or New York dateline.
Image credit: Chicago Daily Tribune , Sept. 28, 1922, p. 1.
Image credit: English Review , Oct., 1922, p. 353.
For the first part of this tutorial, you will examine two articles from one of the two groups below.
Group A (Great Migration)
For a brief overview of the Great Migration, see the article " Great Migration " in Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience , Second Edition.
Group B (Jack the Ripper)
Questions to answer about your article.
- Does the article have a headline or a title? If so, then transcribe the headline or the title.
- Does the article have a byline or author? If so, then transcribe the byline or author.
- Does the article have a dateline? If so, then transcribe the dateline.
- What kind of article is this? (E.g. national news, state news, local news, investigation, feature, fiction, poetry, column, editorial, letter?)
- What news, if any, is being reported here? For this step you must separate out the factual information from the opinions expressed. By factual information we mean information capable of being verified, not necessarily information that is true. For example, the statement "Barack Obama is the 30th President of the United States" is a factual statement, though not a true one. (He is the 44th President.) [What other kinds of historical records might you consult to verify the factual information presented in the article? (is that too much?)]
- What opinion, if any, is being reported here? Distinguish between the author's opinions, and opinions that are being reported as news (for example, expert opinion).
- Can you identify any recognizable point-of-view? If so, then how would you characterize the point-of-view?
- How would you characterize the intended audience?
- Other salient features of the article? Illustrated? Length of the article? Average sentence length? Diction? Syntax? Other stylistic features?
- Can you determine the article's purpose? (E.g. to entertain, to enlighten, to inform decision-making, to persuade, to please, to mislead or deceive, to comply with the law, to record for posterity?)

The article titled “You’ll Be Able to Carry Phone in Pocket in Future” was reportedly published in Mansfield News Journal, an Ohio-based newspaper, on April 18, 1963. The news article gave a catchy lead to the story which was, “Some day, Mansfielders will carry their telephones in their pockets.”
The article, reports that a portable telephone is being developed in the laboratory. It quotes Frederick Huntsman, a telephone company’s commercial manager who says, “This telephone is far in the future- commercially.”

The article also theorises about a “kitchen loud speaking telephone” which is explained as, “The kitchen instrument can be used as a regular telephone, a loudpeaking phone if the housewife happens to be busy preparing a meal, or as an intercom station for the home.”
A phone equipped with a video calling function is touted as a “TV phone” The article explains its features and writes, “The visual image telephone allows the parties to converse by way of a microphone and loud speaker while a miniature television camera transmits the image. The “TV phone” also will have a writer signature transmission system and conversation tape recorder.”

How to write a school news article.
News articles are designed to relate the news. The article is written to inform readers. It is factual, meant to present information in a quick, digestible form. The following elements of writing a newspaper article are important, so heed them well.
Research and Fact Gathering
Perhaps the #1 rule of writing a newspaper article is that you are factual. You do not want to make assumptions or fabricate information. Before you can write your article, you must have as many of the facts as you can gather. Here are some facts that you will need to find out:
- What? The specific event that took place.
- Who? The people involved.
- Where? Places.
- When? Date and time.
- Why? Reasons for the event taking place.
- How? Connecting the facts.
You will also need to gather as much detail as you can. This will involve:
- Interviewing people connected to the story.
- Gathering quotes from people (be exact…never paraphrase what they said). Cite names, unless they specifically request to remain anonymous.
- Resolving conflicting facts from individuals.
- Researching public information (always cite your sources, so write them down).
Once you have all your facts, you can begin to write your article.
The Headline or Title
For a news article, this is where you have most of your creativity. The headline must grab the attention of the reader. It needs to be catchy, emotion evoking, or creates curiosity. Be creative with it. In many instances, you will spend more time trying to come up with the perfect headline than you will in the actual writing.
The Article Body
The main news article itself is written from bottom down. In other words, the most important information comes first and each paragraph gives less and less details. Whereas a novel, for example, starts you out with little information and you must read to the end to get all of it.
In news article writing, however, you want to provide the key information right up front. You start with the 6 questions you should have already answered in your research:
Your first two paragraphs need to answer all these questions. For example:
The Varsity football team beat Smith High School last Saturday, 21 to 7, in a rematch that vindicated Coach John’s prediction of a win during Friday’s pep-rally. Our first home win this season at our very own Jane Doe Field was a morale booster to the entire student body. Quarterback, Joe Baker completed 18 out of 24 passes to cement the win.
This was only a simple example, but almost all the questions are actually answered in the first two sentences. From here you can add more inconsequential details, such as receiving yards, rushing yards, and so forth. You will at some point include quotes from people such as the coach, the quarterback, a receiver, a fan in the stands, and perhaps the principal. Although for quotes, you don’t want to include too many, but having two or three is important. By the time you get to the end of the article, you are simply expanding upon what the reader already knows from the first two paragraphs you wrote.
Don’t make your paragraphs long—two to three sentences each. Your word count will need to stay around the 500 word count or less, generally speaking.
