Newspapers DELETING THE ARCHIVES

I have mixed feelings about this. I lean toward not wanting the archives to be deleted.

I know in Europe this is a common practice.

But I just read about a case where someone in my hometown area died in 2024. He'd been beaten in a fight in 1997 and was paralyzed for all those years. I was able to find out information about who it was from searching Newspapers.com. What happens to accountability if those archives disappear?

Radiolab did a VERY interesting episode on this topic in which they interviewed and profiled a local newspaper that was going through this process of allowing local citizens to APPLY for consideration of having these old stories deleted. If you're interested in this topic, I highly recommend giving it a listen on your next walk.

Sorry that should have read that "...they interviewed and profiled STAFF OF a local newspaper that was going through this process..."

I mean really,
