Transcripts of the Oprah Winfrey show, one of the hidden gems in LexisNexis and Factiva, are no longer being updated in those databases. Older shows, from October 2001 to December 2006, are still available, but nothing new has been added since the beginning of this year.
A note in Factiva says that the provider of these transcripts, Burrelle Information Services, is no longer transcribing the show. That's not quite correct: the Burrelle's Web site offers them for sale through a site called Oprah's Boutique. But new ones are not being made available to LexisNexis or Factiva.
I'll let you if I learn more. In the meantime, contact me if you want to know how to find the older transcripts, useful in many ways for communication research, in the two databases.
