RJI Fellow wants to make media, tech companies more aware of need to preserve content
Fellow Neil Mara (formerly of McClatchy) will seek out and share the best and most innovative ideas out there that leverage a newsroom’s archived content, particularly those with a potential return on investment. The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the value of past news content to readers in order to incentivize preservation, he says.
