Tennessean & DNJ archives

Yesterday’s news: Search local news archives

We all like to know what’s going on in our community. We lost coverage to our local papers due to an exclusive distribution arrangement by Gannett News. Now they’re back! The Walker Library and the Tennessee Electronic Library have made it possible for you to search the archives of the Daily News Journal (DNJ) and the Tennessean. The DNJ is available from 1999-present and the Tennessean is available from 2002-present.

These resources are available on the Walker Library site at library.mtsu.edu on following pages: Databases A-Z, Newspapers, and Current Events & Issues.

If you need help with these or any other resources click here to talk to a Librarian!
