Why use newspapers?
Newspapers are often discounted as sources of information as they are not 'academic'. However they can be very useful as they provide:
Poltical and policy news
Information about local events
Current information
All broadsheet newspapers include legal news and case reports. 'The Times Law Reports' are available in The Times.
