[PW] Clients of New York Times News Service and New York Times Syndicate (Other Newspapers / Publications Which Can Include NYT articles)

[Tsviya Polani]

Adrienne,
I tried a Lexis-Nexis search by headline and also by the first line of the 
article.  The only entry that turns up is for the New York Times - and that 
only once.  That would mean either that no other newspaper indexed in 
Lexis-Nexis carried the story or that it is a free-lance article that cannot 
be included in the database.  Not very helpful, I know.  Why is your student 
so sure the article has been syndicated?
