re: Daily News Archives

["Kenton Bird" <KBird@vines.ColoState.EDU>]

Kay and Visionaries:
To the best of my knowlege, there is no archive of the Daily News -- 
electronic or otherwise.  Last time I checked, there were clipping files 
organized by reporter's byline.  So if you know WHO wrote a story and WHEN it 
ran, you may be able to track down a particular article.  Otherwise, you will 
have to look at microfilm at the DN office or UI library, which can be tedious 
if you don't know the date.

The Lewiston Tribune, by contrast, has archived its stories electronically 
since 1991.  You can get details on the Trib's website, www.lmtribune.com    
There is a small fee to search on line.   If I'm not mistaken, the UI Library 
buys each year's archive on a CD rom and it's searchable via the terminals in 
the library.   

In short, if you're looking for details about a regional news event, hope that 
it was covered by the Tribune.

I am wondering if there is any way to access the Daily News Archives via
the Web?  I sent a message to the editor asking for any assistance but have
received no word.  If anyone has any information that would help me I would
greatly appreciate it!

As for the Pullman insineratior:  Hack, Weez, Sniffle, Cough.

Here's to Peace and any future Enlightenment.
