FamilySearch Portal page in Family History Center
When a patron used this page in the past, there were a number of helpful web sites which could be accessed. One of the most useful and most important was Newspapers.com.
This morning I checked this page and Newspapers.com is no longer there. Is this an oversight or have we lost access to Newspapers.com through the Portal?
Thanks!

You are not alone ...
This appears to be a KNOWN problem/issue.
You may want to look at the response (ie. "Comment'), from a "Moderator" [ ie. 'FamilySearch' "Support" ( Personnel ) in this recent post, earlier today:
FamilySearch Help
'Category' = Family History Centers
HOME > FAMILYSEARCH HELP > FAMILY HISTORY CENTERS
Access Newspapers.com from the Family History Center Portal
And ...
The 'Comment':
For now, this is the portal page and all that is accessible, A report has been submitted to the engineers. How long this will last is unknown, please be patient.

I know, that this certainly may not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with, some additional, insight; and, perspective.
