Can yesterdays news save tomorrows newspapers?

Nothing is more useless and worthless than yesterday’s news. This is at least the truth in the offline world: If you want news you can buy a newspaper and the old ones are only good for wrapping fish or for the bottom of the bird cage.

Things are quite opposite on the Internet. Here you find the breaking news for free from nearly every newspaper in the world, while the same newspapers archives are charching for access.

Adam L. Penenberg from Wired wrote and article about this and more last summer: Searching for The New York Times.
