News libraries have long served as the “invisible information base” for journalists who are seeking background information to add context to the stories they are writing. Beginning in the mid-twentieth century, most newspapers hired dedicated newsroom librarians to help the journalist conduct research and maintain the paper’s archival resources. However, over more recent decades, newsroom convergence, the digitization of archives, and other trends have led to many of the traditional duties of the newsroom librarian being replaced. This chapter demonstrates that news libraries continue to play a crucial role in the functioning of a newsroom. Through the concept of embedded librarianship as the guiding theoretical framework, this chapter examines the contributions of news libraries to the design of media buildings, offering a broader context for opportunities that journalists and news librarians could consider in the twenty-first century—more so as newsrooms evolve in the rapidly changing digital landscape. Recommendations on directions that news organizations can chart to ensure that libraries are central to their news operations are offered.
