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)

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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

There are royalties issues. Photographers would want recompense.
― Alba, Friday, 10 October 2008 11:27 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
(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 (fifteen years ago) link
Thanks, and it explains the dangling phone.
