CQ Researcher is a database that provides reports written and fact-checked by journalists on a wide range of subjects. According to their website, CQ Research specifically covers "issues in the news." This database will help to better fact-check different topics that may be misrepresented by some sources by offering unbiased, fact-checked reports. CQ Researcher also provides footnotes for all sources, so it is easy to see where authors are getting their information.

Opposing Viewpoints is a database that seeks to provide searchers with multiple points of view on a specific issue. The database allows you to search for a specific issue and then shows a range of different sources on each that represent different viewpoints. This format is especially helpful when trying to fact-check especially controversial issues. Their goal is to provide balanced coverage of a wide range of topics, which makes it a useful tool when researching and fact-checking. In addition to providing different sources on each topic, the database also provides context and commentary on each 'veiwpoint' so that readers can gain a better sense of how to contextualize the information.
