The South Bend Tribune, Through Three Doors

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The paper of record for the modern city — reached through Newspapers.com, ProQuest, and the library's catalogue index; nothing bought

What it is: Mishawaka has had no daily of its own since the Enterprise's daily experiment of 1926; the modern record runs through the South Bend Tribune, and this build reached it through three doors, each named wherever it is used: Newspapers.com, paywalled, its image numbers cited in the Airports leg's gaps as the settling copies; ProQuest, through which the Producers leg worked the paper's index and several legs read individual items (the 2002 Dzierla feature; the 2007 hospital item); and the library's MBRL catalogue index, which carries Tribune items as catalogue records — the Libraries leg's January 2007 centennial coverage and the Architecture section's Beiger items among them. The 2008 Schurz Communications building, the Tribune's corporate sibling's all-digital plant on Mishawaka ground, is the Producers leg's whole file and is pointed to, not repeated, here.

Its standing, from this build's experience: the Tribune is the press of record for the city's last half-century — the Tivoli fight, the dealership successions, the cold-case anniversaries — and its morgue is the named settling source for more open questions in this build than any archive except the Enterprise film.

Where it fails: all three doors are partial. The index is not the paper; a catalogue record is not the article; and the day-of record behind the paywall was consulted item by item, never swept. Where a section's question needs the run rather than the item — the fall of 1917, December 1961, the fall of 2013 — the notes say so and the question stands open.
