Select a report from the list. Pay attention to the date to ensure you are getting the most current information. Some of the reports in CQ Researcher date back to 1923.

Step 4:
Review several items on the report.
- Look at the subtitle of the report. This is the specific question the article tries to answer.
- The left menu contains the different sections of the report. The sections in the red box are especially useful. If you need to take a stance on a particular issue, the "Pro/Con" link will give you opinions from both sides.
- The "Issue Tracker" lists other reports similar to this one, organized chronologically by date.
- The date of the report is listed here. Don't forget to take the date into account as you read it!
