Resources for finding Articles in Journals and Newspapers

Articles about a company, an industry, a business concept, or the economy in general can be a wonderful source of information. You can use articles to gather information about a company or industry’s history, activities, and sometimes prospects for the future. Journal and/or newspaper articles can also be a good source of information about the economy in general; such as worker shortages, credit availability, regulation, and other things going on in the world. It is important to remember that not every company and industry will have much or anything written about it. Many of the resources listed also include company profiles, industry reports, reports on countries, and more.
