Choose News
Enter your search terms connected by AND
Next to “Add index terms” click Show. Under the Subject menu, choose Editorials & Opinions and run your search.
TIP! When you limit to Editorials and Opinions, you're only receiving results from the Editorials & Opinions section of the newspapers. If you're researching a sports-related topic, you'll also find valuable viewpoint content from columnists in the Sports section of newspapers.
To limit to this content, choose "Sports and Recreation" from the first Industry menu. You'll receive sports-related results from both the Sports section and other sections of the newspapers.
There isn't a way to limit to editorial and opinion content just from the sports section. Limiting to Industry: Sports & Recreation and Subject or Section: Editorials & Opinion will only retrieve sports-related content from the Editorials & Opinion section of the newspapers.
Use the News search form to do a general news search or to limit your search to U.S. or University news sources.
Choose the Newstab, enter your search terms, then choose a category from the Sources dropdown menu. (Click the "I" next to your selection to learn more about that source.) After you've selected a source, be sure to choose an appropriate date range – the default is the previous three months.
Try the following categories under “Sources” :
News, All (English, Full Text) searches the entire LexisNexis collection of U.S. and international papers, including the New York Times back to 1980.
US Newspapers and Wires limits your search to U.S. titles, including the Austin-American Statesman and the Houston Chronicle .
Major World Newspapers searches over 40 full-text newspapers from around the world, including the U.S. These newspapers are generally regarded as those giving the most comprehensive and reliable coverage of any topic.
University Wire allows you to search campus papers, including the Daily Texan.
LexisNexis Academic indexes television transcripts from numerous news and media sources, from MSNBC to NPR, to the Congressional court hearings (usually broadcast on CSPAN).
Tips to keep in mind when you are searching:
Usually the transcript is for the entire show, not just the individual segment of the television show. The keywords will be highlighted in red and should lead you to that segment you're looking for.
The transcript titles themselves can be very generic, such as the name of the show and the date. Click into them and scan the article to see if it's relevant.
If the search results are overwhelming, narrow them down by selecting the type of News Transcript from the left hand side. (See Step 2). This will help to filter the responses.
Step 1: Select the News tab in LexisNexis, then enter your search terms.
Step 2: Use the categories on the left hand side to narrow down your results.
Step 3: Find the segment of the transcript that applies to your topic.
