New York Journalism is often considered the first draft of history, but what happens when that draft is written on a software program that becomes obsolete?
Adobe ending support for Flash — its once ubiquitous multimedia content player — last year meant that some of the news coverage of the September 11th attacks and other major events from the early days of online journalism are no longer accessible. For example, The Washington Post and ABC News both have broken experiences within their September 11th coverage, viewable in the Internet Archive. CNN's online coverage of September 11th also has been impacted by the end of Flash.
GreatDismal No, blame the shortsightedness of the media for not embracing open standards. Software has a finite lifecycle and you should never rely on a proprietary format for long term storage.
EDITOR'S OPINION Now that everything is digital and paper is obsolete is there a reason to save paper? Nothing of any importance was ever written on paper. Call me old fashioned I still prefer to make my news articles on a laptop using Microsoft Word. Malone Senior Editor NTN
No journalist at cnn
What happens when corporate media continues false Propaganda and falls to crypto?
Where's the rest of the Pentagon videos?
Does it Bother Republicans that Trump rather do commentary for an overaged Boxing Match, than Show Support for those we lost on 9/11? It's so clear a Blind person can see through him. He does not Care about Americans the Military or the USA. He cares that his resorts are open.
'Iconic' is really a weird word to use here. Like an E type Jaguar or a Chanel suit. Just a triumph of image making.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue, street, and building renamed, every date altered………..
CNN killed journalism and made their company democrats extension office
It's a shame then how nowadays the vast majority of it is hyper biased garbage owned by politicians or the rich.
sixtus There were enough people warning you about exactly this in the 90s.
Most welcome, precious people!
people still have old computers that have old programs but anything via the web would not work.
It’s Bush’s fault and Y2K! My tin foil hat told me so!!
Here’s an angle you won’t have heard before - the story of the portable restroom operators who supplied toilets to Ground Zero following the attacks on 9-11.
Yeah sure blame the supplier you had 20 years of giving a chance on reconverting it to something that would be HTML5 or so or just make a screen cap of it. Who is to blame exactly the lazy of you.
The first draft of 9/11 journalism said 40-50k people were dead and that it was on par with Vietnam. Good job, journalists...
Or maybe that 3rd building a couple blocks away that magically burned down at the same time
