My Favorite Newspaper Tools for Genealogy

There has been lots of talk about newspapers and genealogy lately staring with last week's episode of GeneaBloggers Radio entitled "Read All About It - Genealogy and Newspapers" (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/geneabloggers/2011/08/13/read-all-about-it-newspapers-as-genealogy-resources).
