Reliable Resources

When using newspapers, it's always a good idea to check the validity and bias before you use them. Here are some helpful websites to do just that:

Full Fact
A team of independent fact checkers and campaigners who find, expose and counter the harm it does.

Media Bias/Fact Check
There are currently 7100+ media sources, journalists, and politicians listed in the database... and it is growing every day!

 

PressReader lets you access UK and international newspapers, plus a wide range of magazine content. Everything is full colour with archives varying in length depending on the publication.
