DESCRIPTION:Online training for postgraduate students who are interested in using news archives as a research resource. Digitised news archives, which represent published news any time from a few hours ago to a couple of centuries ago, can be an incredibly valuable source of information for researchers looking to study not only journalism and media, but also how different issues – from public health to the environment – were understood, covered or reported on at different times. The session will cover different news archives and databases currently available through the Wits Library (students should already know how to access the online library resources), together with other public digital archives. Various archive sources will be discussed in terms of what they do and don't feature (e.g. language, region/s and time period covered, limitations of the database), together with a discussion on how to conduct effective and replicable searches in different platforms, and how to document important and relevant information from your searches. Different study approaches and outcomes will also be discussed, using recent case examples from published work produced by Wits scholars.
