Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Friday, 10 October 2008 10:38 (seventeen years ago)

is there a website which archives back issue front pages of newspapers? a friend of my sister's was on the front of the torygraph yesterday...(and no, i can't find it on the telegraph website)

CharlieNo4, Friday, 10 October 2008 10:42 (seventeen years ago)

does anyone actually know what these guys (sorry, and women) do and understand it?

Charlie - no, I don't think so. There's http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/?tfp_show_sort=yes but that's only today's and anyway, UK papers seem to have pulled out of it.

Alba, Friday, 10 October 2008 11:14 (seventeen years ago)

if i were a newspaper's website i'd have a page with links to every front page since my inception! it's ridiculous.

CharlieNo4, Friday, 10 October 2008 11:23 (seventeen years ago)

can you imagine how inky your fingers would get, scanning all those newspapers? i'd do it though. i enjoy tedious, undemanding work like that.

Tracer Hand, Friday, 10 October 2008 11:26 (seventeen years ago)

There are royalties issues. Photographers would want recompense.

Alba, Friday, 10 October 2008 11:27 (seventeen years ago)

so do they get recompense for all the above pics from a year ago (and longer ago elsewhere obv) which are still live and linkable?

CharlieNo4, Friday, 10 October 2008 11:30 (seventeen years ago)

It's a bit of a shadowy area. I think, to be honest, a lot of those pics have gone up under agreements that probably don't allow them to be available in perpetuity. But the web's frontier country for intellectual property. It's all a bit hard to control and results in arguments between the various parties about digital-reuse clauses in contracts. Similar problems with text. Big chunks of pre-web newspaper archives have been pulled because fears of lawsuits by freelancers.

Just finished swinging on gigantic phone.

Matt DC, Friday, 10 October 2008 11:44 (seventeen years ago)

the copy says, more or less:

Top bankers listen and respond to savers

Where would my money be safe?
What shall I do with my shares?
Ask the experts on the phone at 1pm.

so they're smiling because the newspaper is giving them a load of cash to placate its readers, presumably.

i seem to remember ipc freelances and staffers threatening a walk-out in the early 2000s over online republishing of printed copy. can't remember what happened though.

CharlieNo4, Friday, 10 October 2008 12:01 (seventeen years ago)

(although i'd imagine they were very quickly "persuaded" to sign a contract allowing once-only online reprinting for no extra payment)

CharlieNo4, Friday, 10 October 2008 12:09 (seventeen years ago)

Thanks, and it explains the dangling phone.
