Gale New York Times Database. This is a database of NY TImes articles from 1985 to present. It updates daily. These do not look like the newspaper -- they are text-only documents. To share articles with students, search for them by title or topic, sort results to show newest first, open the relevant article, then click "get link" from the top menu bar (do not copy the URL from your browser -- that link is not a "permalink"). Remember that the NYTimes changes headlines frequently during the day so you may need to be creative with your searching. Librarians can definitely help you with finding the right article!
