An Effort to Preserve Multimedia Archives

by Sheena Tahilramani
The preservation of news coverage provides a credible source through which the youth can experience history. With the rise of the Internet and the increasing popularity of online news, how will today's multimedia news coverage be archived for future generations? In "An Effort to Preserve Multimedia Archives," Tahilramani talks to Debra Bade, an editor in the News Research and Archives department at the Chicago Tribune and Nora Paul, director of the Institute for New Media Studies at the University of Minnesota School of Journalism to discuss the standards (or lack thereof) of archiving online news content.
