These resources will help you find business-related periodical and newspaper articles. Some of the databases are updated on a daily basis and can be used for current awareness by providing this week's, or even today's, business news. For additional current awareness sources try the internet resources page for business-related newswire and headline services.

Articles from newspapers, business magazines, trade journals, and business research journals can provide extensive information on companies, such as company histories, advertising techniques, new ventures, marketing programs, and biographical profiles of key executives, and more. Articles may also be the only way to locate information on small, private companies, or on subsidiaries of publicly-held companies.

Articles can also provide industry overviews. In addition, news articles related to an industry can supplement the overviews or data found in general internet resources. If general industry information was not found, news articles can collectively provide an overview of the industry.

These same resources can be used to find news and research articles on virtually any topic in business or management.
