Introduction
News articles can include great information about current events surrounding international relations topics. This page will help you use Milner's news databases to find news stories that relate to the issue that your picked. There is no need to limit yourself to just news sources available in Milner's databases. If you want to search through the open web (Google News, for example), that's an acceptable option. However, make sure you are properly evaluating each source to ensure it is credible.
