Features: Google News TimelineGoogle News Timeline is a web application that organizes search results chronologically. It allows users to view news and other data sources on a browsable, graphical timeline. Available data sources include recent and historical news, scanned newspapers and magazines, blog posts, sports scores, and information about various types of media, like music albums and movies.
Timeline NavigationGoogle News Timeline provides a number of ways to navigate through time.
Using the navigation menus
Specifying date ranges When a date is entered into the search box, the timeline will navigate to results centered on that period of time. For example, if you type "1977" into the date field, the timeline will display "January 1977" on the left side of the timeline. The zoom level is determined automatically by the search term you enter. For example, "2002" will set the zoom level to months, while "April 2002" will set it to weeks and "April 15, 2002" will zoom by days. Please note that the date field also recognizes phrases like today, yesterday, this week or last week, and this month or last month. Queries and Data SourcesYou can enter a query in the search box to display results for that query on the timeline. For example, you could search for “News” results for "Obama." You can specify as many different queries as you'd like by adding additional terms and data sources.
Types of Data SourcesGoogle News Timeline features search results from many different sources.

Why can’t I see blog posts from earlier than 2005 in my results?The blog posts in Google News Timeline are displayed based on their date of publication. These results come from Google Reader, so we don’t display results before the fall of 2005, when Google Reader was launched. Please note, blog search results may not yet include all blogs.
