Talk:Google News Archive

The archives are still available. You just got to know how to get there. See talk page

For example- This] and this too.

Archive searches can be done. Google is just hiding them like usual.- William 06:16, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

The fact that the archives searches are "hidden" it's not usual, the service has been online since 2006 on the adress http://news.google.com/archivesearch (that now simply redirects to http://www.google.com). I think that's valid information and should not be removed, specially because Google apparently merged the service with G News and didn't gave an official position about the situation. --viniciusmc 06:30, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

The first search doesn't actually get any results. Kostja (talk) 12:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Google just might destroy wikipedia - and research in general. Is that what they had in mind? I am totally disgusted!! But hopefully someone will provide an alternative. Anything you can pay $5 a month for? Thanks. 22:45, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

missing info

There's less info here than in Google_News#News_Archive_Search. For more info, see http://searchengineland.com/google-news-archive-search-page-gone-forever-or-temporary-bug-89768 --Espoo (talk) 16:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

No longer available?

Google currently states flatly that "archive search is no longer available within Google News". I added a sentence to the article, but I'm not at all sure I understand the situation and would welcome correction by someone who knows more about it. --MelanieN (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

update

Google posted an update to their support forum here

They say users can search back to 2003. Tisn't (talk) 23:57, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

New York Times

Apparently contrary to the statement in "History" the New York Times is *not* listed in the list of newspapers at https://news.google.com/newspapers

Also searches go back much further than 2003. Today (18 April 2015) I came on an article from The Miami News - May 2, 1958, while doing a normal Google Search. This result was also to be found by searching at http://news.google.com/newspapers , but not by searching at http://news.google.com . --PeterR2 (talk) 21:35, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

I've deleted this sentence from the article... Since 2008, the entire content of The New York Times back to its founding in 1851 has been available. Source: https://news.google.com/newspapers

The New York Times has their own archives, only available to paid subscribers. Itsfullofstars (talk) 06:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

broken links

At some point Google seems to have changed the ID for some newspapers, meaning a number of links on Wikipedia are broken. For example, this link: https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=I9kRAAAAIBAJ&pg=6859%2C844160 is broken, the new URL for the mentioned article is this: https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=e_hLAAAAIBAJ&sjid=p-4DAAAAIBAJ&hl=de&pg=6814%2C533633 (from Larry McDonald)

It doesn't seem like it could be fixed automatically, but a bot should at least tag all Google Newspaper links that now give a 404 page, to be fixed eventually. Is there some task force dealing with specific types of dead links? — jonas (talk) 22:02, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
