MTV News takes down 30-year digital archive with no advanced warning
Briefly

MTV News' digital archive dating back to 1996 became inaccessible post Paramount Global's shutdown, affecting thousands of editorial pieces and interviews.
Paramount Global's decision to pull the archive may have been influenced by costs like E&O insurance and licensing fees, potentially leading to a lack of revenue generation for MTV News.
The shutdown raises questions about the importance of monetizing content and generating revenue for renowned brands like MTV News, impacting writers and losing a piece of music history.
Writers who dedicated years to MTV News now must rely on the Wayback Machine, highlighting the loss of important music history relics due to the archive closure.
