Know How
Nexis
Nexis is a great resource because it enables you to cross-search lots of newspapers quickly
However it is only text – you need to see the text in the context of the layout and the photographs used in the paper
This is why it is important for you to read a newspaper

Know How
Importance of layout
The combination of different articles is also important – the next slide shows two articles from the Daily Mirror archive the one on the left is an apology to the
American, Steve Bing, for claims in a previous article
the one on the right purports to show that Americans cannot understand irony – Steve Bing sued again and won!
