Finding International News

Below are some starting points for international news. The menu on the left provides guides to news in specific countries or regions.

Many international newspapers are only available on microfilm. Check the Library Catalog for specific titles held at the UChicago Library. UChicago also depends heavily on the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) for international newspapers on microfilm. Request specific newspapers that you need from via interlibrary loan services.

If you have difficulty locating a newspaper for a specific country or region, please visit our research guides or Ask a Librarian for assistance.
