The South Bend News-Times, 1913–1922 — the town's digitized window, filed under South Bend
What it is: Hoosier State Chronicles, the state's digitized newspaper library, digitizes no Mishawaka title — its digitized-access list was read in full by the Newspapers leg, and there is no Mishawaka heading in it (the list runs Milford to Monon with nothing between that is this town's). The town's digitized window is therefore the sister city's paper: the South Bend News-Times of 1913–1922, filed under South Bend, in which Mishawaka's news ran as a department. The build worked that window hard: the Business Gaps leg read its 1914–1919 items (the Major Bros. livestock authority among them), the Crime leg its October 1921 raid coverage, the Public Servants leg its 1921–22 items, and the Mysteries leg read the Indianapolis News dispatch of 6 September 1872 there — the next day's press on the Great Fire, kerosene smelled and no cause assigned, printed as the witnesses' detail and expressly not promoted to a cause.
Its standing, from this build's experience: for 1913–1922 the News-Times is the closest thing to a digitized Mishawaka paper that exists, and its Mishawaka page is a real source — with the boundary printed wherever it is used: it is South Bend's paper covering Mishawaka, and its silences about the town are a South Bend editor's silences.
Where it fails: the window closes in 1922, and the repository's own tooling resisted once: a query of the Chronicles search endpoint in the Fairs pass returned HTTP 403 (its article pages read fine), logged and not retried from this seat. The standing warning of this part applies with force: the digitized record's shape — one decade, one sister-city paper — is an accident of scanning, not a shape of the town's history.
