"The inclusion of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News means that ProQuest now provides even broader and deeper coverage from Pennsylvania and the Northeast, and a new perspective on global events. These additions are part of our continued goal of adding newspaper content to meet the needs of libraries across the U.S. and around the world."
Users can now search the comprehensive coverage of these two renowned Philadelphia papers. The Philadelphia Inquirer, the third oldest surviving newspaper in the U.S., is one of the top 20 newspapers by circulation, and has won 18 Pulitzer prizes.
