How do I find an article I saw in print?
First try using the search bar at the top of any of our pages. Searching for keywords or names in the article works best. We don’t always use the same headline in print as we do online, so searching for a complete headline may not work.
There is some content that we run in the paper that we do not run online, due to copyright or licensing restrictions. This includes some wire service content and columnists, sports agate and comics.
Still can’t find it? Send an e-mail to daywebadmin@TheDay.com.
