Meet PastPages.org, the news homepage archive. (And help keep it alive)

27 pointsby palewireabout 13 years ago
I cre­ated this site be­cause I think it ought to ex­ist. The shift­ing homepages of ma­jor me­dia sites should be saved so they can be stud­ied. Done right, I be­lieve Pas­t­Pages could serve as a re­source for schol­ars seek­ing to study cov­er­age of news events, like the up­com­ing U.S. pres­id­en­tial elec­tion.<p>Regularly collecting the data costs money. So I've organized a Kickstarter in hopes of raising funds to keep it up. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/651552740/keep-pastpages-alive

Do you have permission to be taking these snapshots? The Newseum does something similar for print content and has agreements with all of the organizations so that they don't just Cease &#38; Desist them out of existence.<p><a href="http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/" rel="nofollow">http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/</a>

I love the New York Times shots. It's a great demonstration of how off-putting their interstitial ads are, and how many other sites don't need them.

I think hosting a static image is cool, but doesn't the Internet Archive already have a full-HTML archive of these pages? e.g. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110729013424/http://www.nytimes.com/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20110729013424/http://www.nytimes...</a>

Same service here, but for newspapers (with more than 1000 newspapers around the globe):<p><a href="http://en.kiosko.net/us/" rel="nofollow">http://en.kiosko.net/us/</a>
