LexisNexis
LexisNexis allows full-text searching of hundreds of press publications. You will find here major newspapers such as "The New York Times,” "The Washington Post,” "The Chicago Sun-Times," and others. You can also find foreign newspapers, including “The Guardian” ( London), “The Moscow Times,” and a wide range of publications from across the globe. Try the “Quick News Search” option for an instant glance at articles dealing with your topic. To define your search in more detail, use the “Guided News Search.”
LexisNexis also provides information on court cases and companies (US- and internationally-based). Search here for up-to-date data such as verdicts and company profiles.
Example: Information can be found on the court proceedings of Richard Hickock (one of the accused parties in the murder case inspiring Capote's "In Cold Blood"). A search on the "Get a Case" option of the Lexis-Nexis default page, using the terms "Hickock" and "Kansas" (the state where the murders took place and the accused subsequently tried) yields the following results:
