For each language included in the CFLPS, the original editors organized the newspaper clippings by a standard outline. Each clipping was marked with its place on the outline (i.e. in the German  I A 3 a) and put in order.  

Boxes to the right on this page explore the five areas of the outline:

I. Attitudes

II.  Contributions and Activities

III.  Assimilation

IV. Representative Individuals

IV.  Miscellaneous

In this resource, the editors decided on one place where on an outline a particular excerpt of text belonged.  It may be useful for you to look over the entire outline to get a sense of your larger options.  A topic may be in a place that you did not expect it to.  If you wanted to find out about attitudes of the Germans towards other groups, you might try I) C) -- but if it happened during an election it might be in I) F) 6).
