Hi Rebecca
If you are planning to travel to the UK for part of your research then you would be able to access the ProQuest UK newspaper database at the Wellcome Library. This resource gives online access to the full text of many UK papers, both national and regional (including all the major ones). Data generally goes back to the mid-1990s. Unfortunately, because of licence issues, we can't provide remote access to this resource.
In addition, the Wellcome Library has an extensive collection of UK press cuttings on genetics. The library is open to all and further information can be found at http://library.wellcome.ac.uk/.
You could also try searching the Psci-comLit bibliographic database at http://www.intute.ac.uk/healthandlifesciences/pscicom/pscicomlit.html. This covers journal and newspaper articles, books and reports on science communication, public engagement with science and the broader issues of science and society.
Please contact me off the list if you have any questions about what the Wellcome Library can offer you.
Best wishes
Louise

Oggetto: [PSCI-COM] Genes and the media!
Dear list members,
Has anyone done a content or framing analysis of British newspapers before?
Perhaps somebody could advise me on how to find artitcles! I am a PhD student in Oslo about to undertake a framing analysis of how the Norwegian and British media communicate the concept of what a gene is to the general public. I would like to search British newspaper archives for gene-related articles from the last 3-4 years. I have heard of Nexis Lexis Academic but my university doesn't have it so I was wondering what other options there are (or maybe i can access it via something else?).
Any suggestions?
kind regards,
Rebecca.
