O n November 2, 2017, the Gothamist network of local news websites abruptly shut down, leaving the sites’ story archives temporarily inaccessible. 1 After a social media outcry, the websites’ past coverage reappeared; however, the incident demonstrates the instability and precariousness of our access to yes- terday’s news. Kathleen A. Hansen and Nora Paul were motivated by tales of disappearing Web content, and, indeed, by the disappearing field of news librarianship and archives, to write Future-Proofing the News: Preserving the First Draft of History, a history of news preservation in the United States. Hansen and Paul survey the past three centuries of American news production and conclude that the pres- ervation and disappearance of news content is not unique to the digital age. Rather, preserving the news has historically been an “afterthought”; a casualty of the “tension between preserving what has been created amid the pressure of creating new material” (pp. xiii, 56). Hansen and Paul argue that future-proofing the news requires new focus, forethought, and collaboration between news producers, archivists, and librarians. Hansen and Paul are both faculty members at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and have decades of experience working directly with newsrooms and researching infor- mation management.
