Journalists champion Wayback Machine after news publishers limit article archiving
"The Internet Archive is a national treasure. I use it daily, and have for many, many years. I cannot imagine doing the work I do without it."
"The Internet Archive preserves over two decades of original reporting on music and popular culture by MTV News. History needs stewards."
"The people of the Internet Archive do an outstanding job of preserving irreplaceable work and making it available to journalists and researchers."
"Brishti Basu detailed an incident when the Vancouver Police Department edited a press release after she published an article criticizing it for making misleading statements."
In January, it was reported that major news outlets like The New York Times and The Guardian restricted access to the Wayback Machine, fearing AI companies might scrape their content. In response, journalists and digital rights organizations are advocating for the lifting of these restrictions. A petition organized by Fight for the Future has garnered over 120 signatures from journalists, praising the Internet Archive's role in preserving journalism. Notable supporters emphasize the importance of the Internet Archive in maintaining historical records and supporting journalistic work.
