Newspapers are a great source of primary information about environmental events (especially disasters!). You have online access to a great many newspapers through the WSU Library. You can look for articles about both current and historical events. There are also a number of media websites that provide commentary on technology and ecological developments.

For even more resources for finding newspaper articles, please see Cathy Moore-Jansen's excellent guide to Newspapers.
