Broadcast Transcript & Video Archives

From CommWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The library has several sources for broadcast transcripts from U.S. radio and television, as well as a few recommendations for finding news video archives. Keep in mind that no one database will have every show from a particular network, so for example, you may have to search a couple of databases that contain CBS transcripts before you find the one that has the program Face the Nation.
