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

[Franco, Adrienne]

Thank you, Tsviya:
 
After my initial response to student, I thought of searching Lexis-Nexis Academic also and had same results as you.  I searched not only U.S. newspapers but also worldwide papers.  I did an author search, too, in case any other paper might have changed the title, which does happen.  
However, as someone else on BUSLIB-L listserv pointed out, if the article is considered freelance, it could be that either it would not appear in Lexis-Nexis even if it was published in another newspaper, OR that it was not published in any other newspaper because author refused permission for either NYT News Service or Syndicate to offer. 
 
I think the student was sure about syndication because there is a New York Times Service (and Syndicate) and many papers do publish articles obtained from service / syndicate.  But again, if article is freelance, one cannot make this assumption. I can ask her how she knows.
Thanks again.

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?
