Daily newspapers are an important source of information on current events, opinions, theatre, film and book reviews and obituaries, but do be aware that they are aimed at a general audience and written by journalists rather than experts.  Newspaper articles can be inaccurate and can often be biased in support of a particular point of view or political party so they need to be used with caution.

Back issues of newspapers can also be useful as historical source material.
