Occasionally, a newspaper or like medium will publish an article about contra dancing. I have tried to avoid articles that are simply part of overall entertainment listings or a monthly press release with the time, place and who's playing. Of course, many of the articles are simple introductions to contra dancing and you'll see many of the same hints, advice, etc., but if someone is looking for how newspapers covered contra dancing in the early 21st century, this sampling will be helpful.
