[Ads-l] Google News Archive Search Is Back

[Ben Zimmer]

I wasn't aware that Google News Archive (such as it is) ever lost its
search function. The main page at https://news.google.com/newspapers is
still as it was before, and I've dipped in occasionally to look for things
that can't be found in other databases. (The holdings haven't been added to
in many years, as Fred suggests. The Village Voice, for instance, still has
very scattershot coverage, which is a shame given what a great resource
it could be.)
