Abstract

Readers approaching Future-Proofing the News: Preserving the First Draft of History expecting a practical how-to manual for news media archivists will be disappointed. Instead of a guide to preservation strategies, as the title might suggest, this work presents a compelling narrative of major news forms in the United States and functions as a clarion call from authors Kathleen Hansen and Nora Paul to rescue “the first draft of history” from disaster, deterioration, and indifference.
