Newspapers are one of my favorite sources; they are on my research list for every genealogy project! Articles can provide details about ancestors' lives that aren't found in any other source. 

I learned that when my grandparents got married, there was a dinner to announce their engagement. There were three showers for my grandmother - a linen shower, a kitchen shower, and a kitchen shower - articles included who attended, a description of the decorations, and the gifts she received. There was also a description of their wedding reception - music played, decorations, food, and where the couple was going on their honeymoon.
