Ethnic NewsWatch™ (ENW) is a current resource of full-text newspapers, magazines, and journals of the ethnic and minority press. The complete collection also includes the module Ethnic NewsWatch: A History™, which provides historical coverage of Native American, African American, and Hispanic American periodicals from 1959-1989. Together, these resources present a full-text collection of more than 2.5 million articles from over 340 publications, providing researchers access to essential, often overlooked perspectives.
Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the resources is the inclusion of unique community publications not found in any other database, as well as top scholarly journals on ethnicities and ethnic studies. For example, Haiti Observateur (2002 – present) which has articles written in French and English, is not currently indexed in any other Furman Library database .
