Is Larry King one of your favorite nighttime television shows? Do you start your day with National Public Radio?  What about those nights you fall asleep early? Or you hear about a new book on NPR but you’re driving and can’t write it down?  No worries! LexisNexis is here for you. 

We have a deep database of television and radio transcripts including the CNN, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS networks.  To quickly locate a particular transcript database, use the Find a Source tab on the lexis.com ® service.  For example, type in National Public Radio. The results set brings back a number of locations.

Choose News > Individual Publications > National Public Records. Click on the Information button to see that coverage extends back to 1992 and the file is updated within one day of broadcast.  This file contains three of NPR's most popular shows: Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Weekend Edition.

To construct the most precise search, use the SHOW segment and the name of the program, along with other relevant search terms.  For example, a search for recent stories on the new SAT tests might look like this:

SHOW (morning edition) and HEADLINE (SAT and test)

LexisNexis will retrieve NPR stories that aired on Morning Edition on the new SAT test.
