In addition to distributing your daily news items in the Newswise wires and highlighting them online in the real-time browse menus, all news releases are posted to our archive and remain accessible indefinitely. Newswise currently maintains a database of more than 33,700 articles from 1997 to the present, which journalists often use as a valuable source for experts and background information. As opposed to a simple keyword search, the archive is full-text searchable -- each word in the full text of the release is indexed for searching. Further refinements can be made to a search by date, library and/or contributing institution, and results are returned by relevance. The Newswise archive extends the shelf life of your news release for years.
Success from the Newswise Archives:
"Just had a Newswise success. Researching a story on Bigfoot, I wanted to focus on credibility [of witnesses]. Searched your
archive for that, and found the perfect professor, from Purdue University, a 1997 release. Good interview. So thanks for the excellent archive!"
—David Tenenbaum, The Why Files
