FEATURED NEWSPAPER DATA BASES

The people of Paterson are extraordinarily fortunate to have two top-rate, hyperlocal newspapers.  Both the PatersonPress and TheAlternativePress.com are constantly being updated to keep us informed - check them out!

		Joe Malinconico is the editor of PatersonPress.com, a news service dedicated to the City of Paterson and owned by The Citizens Campaign.
		TheAlternativePress.com announced in March that it will not only continue to operate its local news presence in Paterson, but Publisher Michael Shapiro stated that the award-winning site will soon be expanding its coverage and offering even more ways for Paterson residents to access their local news.
		Online local news publication service - "HeraldNews", "The Record", "Star-Ledger", obituaries and more.
		Provides a global perspective on the world's events, by delivering a wide range of publications to readers while at the library, at home and away.
		Historical New York Times  Full searching of the entire set of backfiles of the New York Times.  Output is PDF.
