Limit your Search to Articles with Images
Use Advanced Search in Academic OneFile and enter your search terms. Below, you can Limit Results to document with images. Then click Search. This will only retrieve results with images.
Academic OneFile indexes transcripts (called broadcast transcripts) and podcasts from National Public Radio (NPR).
Helpful hints and things to keep in mind when searching:
To search for editorials in radio broadcasts, use commentary as a keyword. This will likely bring back "columnist" type radio pieces and/or transcripts. One thing to note, however, is that many radio programs (especially NPR) will invite panelists with different perspectives to debate a topic. Often, these are not titled as "commentary," but are clearly opinionated stances.
You cannot search just for broadcast transcripts. Instead, perform your search first, and if the multimedia tab is highlighted, there is content available. If no multimedia articles come back, re-do your search using different keywords and/or broader terms.
Because Academic One File will always accompany the link to the NPR audio file with a transcript, you can skim the article to see if it does argue a point, or if it's just informational (much like searching for editorials in LexisNexis).
Results from before 2007 will most likely not have a direct link to the NPR audio file; it will give the transcript only. You can try to find the audio file by searching directly at NPR, but the title may be different from that given in the Academic One File database.
Step 1. Search using brainstormed keywords.
*Keep in mind, again, that searching using "commentary" may not fully encompass all of the relevant editorial type results.
Step 2. Select the multimedia tab.
Keep in mind that if the multimedia tab isn't clickable, no results were found. Go back and try using more keywords or broader search terms.
Step 3. Read the provided transcript or click on the provided link out to NPR.
