yes - the Science Museum Media Monitor.

It was a huge content analysis of British Press in second half of 20th
Century. It had something like 6000 articles.

I don't have many details, just some short notes I use to teach on it,
and a google didn't bring much up. The Science Museum library (at
Imperial College) or Dr Martin Bauer (LSE) might be able to help.

I know the archieve still exists, because there was a PUS seminar not
that long ago by someone doing a PhD on images from it (sorry I've not
got her name, but she was also from the LSE, find Martin Bauer)

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?).
