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) Alice On 06/09/06, Jennifer Marsden <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Factiva is a an excellent piece of software which will allow you to search for articles from all over the world via keywords or journalist- however it is rather a costly package! > > http://www.factiva.com/ > > they are part of reuters. > > Hope this helps, they are by far the most comprehensive search of the media that I have found and a really useful resource.

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. > > > > ---------------------------------------- > Rebecca Carver, M.Sc. > Research assistant > Institute of Basic Medical Sciences > University of Oslo > P.O.
