UMBC now has trial access to the Meet the Press streaming video collection.

Since its television premiere in 1947, Meet the Press has cemented its position as an institution in broadcast journalism. Now, network TV’s longest running program — with its thousands of interviews, panels, and debates — is available via streaming online video.

Alexander Street’s Meet the Press database will assemble more than 1,500 hours of footage — nearly the full broadcast run to date — in one convenient online interface for academic institutions. Rather than digging through archives in assorted formats and locations, hoping footage will be available, students and faculty will be able to explore this iconic series instantly from their computer or mobile device.

Trials are only available on campus; access requires no additional login.

The trial runs through February 10, 2014. Feedback on the usefulness of this
database is appreciated. Leave us a comment to let us know what you
