Clipping Services v. Document Retrieval Services

I've recently been researching clipping services because we'd like to receive
hard copy of significant articles on a subject when we need the "pretty" versions
complete with pictures, graphics, etc.

But I'm wondering if we're barking
up the wrong tree in looking at clipping services. These days with all the
news available online and on the web, we can easily identify articles on topic
ten times over. That's not the problem. We just need certain selected articles
from the original, mounted nicely, for our files. But the clipping services
I've talked to won't take requests for specific articles only.

So what
we need isn't so much a clipping service per se, that is a company that reads
the press, finds the articles on the topic you wants, then sends them to you,
but rather, a document retrieval service that could find specific articles
in the original, complete with pictures, etc., AND present it nicely. Of
course, I know many document services that can do part one of that request,
but I'm not sure there are any document services that will also present the
articles in a consistent, professional format.

Any ideas, suggestions,
or recommendations?
