Video news content added to Access World News


The complete video package from respected media distributor Voxant includes the following sources: The Associated Press, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, local affiliates of ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox, as well as coverage from Canadian Broadcasting, Agence France-Presse and more.

Highlights:
  • Play news videos within the NewsBank interface, in the same space used to display text articles
  • Select specific videos from a comprehensive results list that also includes news articles, or limit your search to "video only"
  • Email links of specific videos to friends, or embed them in a presentation

This new content will be added in stages. A short advertisement that can be immediately closed by users will appear prior to each video. Please note that a free Flash plug-in is required
to play these videos. It can be downloaded at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer. Your default settings will not be affected in any way.

*Be sure to use the Off-campus proxy bookmarklet before using this database from home.
