Overview
Founded to expose the corruption of Reconstruction-era politics, by 1910 Raleigh's The News & Observer was known across the Carolinas as a government watchdog. In addition to political news, The News & Observer covered the people, issues and events that shaped the Carolinas, from education to the economy, World War I to the Gulf War. Providing this historical archive as part of the most comprehensive aggregated news resource in the world creates a seamless continuum of coverage from 1910 to today, and offers valuable teaching and research opportunities for students and faculty in nearly every academic discipline.
A history of political reporting The News & Observer began as a Democratic paper, publishing a robust political column and seeking to combat corruption and political special interests in North Carolina. Conservatives sometimes referred to the paper as the "The Nuisance & Disturber." Though publisher Josephus Daniels supported disenfranchising black voters -- a position he later rescinded -- he also used the paper's influence to push for women's suffrage, workers compensation, industrialization and road improvement.
Award-winning coverage of 20th century news The News & Observer's archives include photographs, advertisements and classifieds that provide a glimpse into daily life in Raleigh over the course of the 20th century. The paper's coverage of agricultural issues was especially strong; it won a Pulitzer for its reporting on the environmental and health risks of North Carolina's burgeoning pork industry. Additionally, The News & Observer offers local perspectives on desegregation, the Civil Rights movement, World War II, the Vietnam War, literature, the arts and much more.
A continuum of coverage streamlines research The historical archive of The News & Observer is fully integrated with the paper's most recent news, as well as thousands of other up-to-date information sources. These diverse publications, many of which are unavailable elsewhere, offer extensive local, regional, national and international coverage, providing valuable perspectives from around the world.
