Future-Proofing the News: Preserving the First Draft of History examines the history and technology of news reporting in the U.S. and focuses on the decisions that aided or hindered future access.

This text reviews the history of the "newspaper of record" concept, examines legal, historical and archival uses for newspapers, and reports on online newspaper production. It also provides suggestions for future scholarly, legal and industry focus on the "newspaper of record" concept.
