Historians will point out that news sources are not really primary sources since they are not accounts by the historical actors involved. However, they do constitute at least contemporary writing/speaking about the incident that contain good information about the impression available to contemporaries about an event.

We have access to a large collection of ethnic newspapers through the Center for Research Libraries. These must be requested through ILL@MU and will come on microfilm, which must be read with a machine. Unfortunately these are not indexed well, but they may give you a flavor of an ethnic community in a specific place.
Online ethnic newspapers, blogs, and other media may be best found through a Google search.
