Why Use a Magazine, Journal or Newspaper Article?
Magazines, journals and newspapers:
- Provide detailed information about a specific aspect of a topic.
- Report on events, issues or scholarly research.
Magazines, journals and newspapers typically do NOT provide a summary or overview of a topic.
Use an encyclopedia to find a summary or overview of a topic.
