I need a way to find individual internet news headlines for ABC, CNN, and FOX.

For the dates Oct. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

I guess I want to see the font page for each of these sites for each date.

I tried [archive.org](http://archive.org) and gooles news search but with no luck.

Any other suggestions?

I think [archive.org](http://archive.org) is the only site that publicly offers “snapshots” of web pages, and they’re always a few months behind.

You can probably get at least one of those dates from Google’s cache. For instance, their [current cache](http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:Y_yXZK0On4AJ:www.foxnews.com/+foxnews.com&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us) of the Fox News site is from Oct. 12.

I work for one of the news sites, and I can tell you they’re very transient and change minute by minute. If anyone’s archiving front pages by date, I haven’t heard of it.
