Google News as an online research tool



Google News shows the top new stories from around the world. You can browse and search for certain locations, publications and more. It’s a good resource for finding current events and issues around which you can shape content. You can sign up for alerts via email, RSS and even on your mobile phone.

Go to http://news.google.com to get started. On the left side of the page, you can browse by category. You can choose a particular country from the drop-down box if you’d like.
