Traditional News Sources
You can set up an individual subscription to the New York Times (set up your subscripton here) and the Wall Street Journal (set up your subscription here) through your CU email address. You can login to local Colorado newspapers like the Denver Post and the Boulder Daily Camera through this link. Other newspapers require searching through the library databases for articles. You can search individual newspapers by typing in the title on the "publications" link from the University Library page. If you want to search multiple newspapers at the same time, you can search within different newspaper databases, like ProQuest Current Newspapers, Access World News, and Gale OneFile: News. Some collections, like Newspaper Archive and ProQuest Historical Newspapers, are good resources for historical research.
Legal News Sources
Some popular legal news sources that you have access to are Bloomberg Law News and Law360. Access Law360 using the VPN if off-campus, or through your Lexis account. Bloomberg Law News requires logging into your Bloomberg Law account. If you don't have an account set up, contact lawref@colorado.edu to set up an account. Through Bloomberg, you can search both Bloomberg specific resources, as well as other legal news resources like American Lawyer Media (ALM).
There may also be subject-specific news sources of interest to you, like Energy & Environment News through Politico Pro. Check out what news sources you have access to through the University Library databases.

You can set up News Alerts in Bloomberg by going to the Bloomberg Terminal News Search, adding your keywords (be sure to check out the advanced search techniques by clicking on the question mark next to keywords!), selecting your sources, and clicking on "create alert" at the bottom of the search page.
You can set up email newsletters for existing Bloomberg news pages either from the specific news page directly, or by clicking on the "Research Trail" link on the top right-hand side of the page, selecting "Alerts" from the drop-down menu, and then toggling the switch to blue for the newsletter(s) you want to receive.
