there was a great one in the newspaper yesterday, either the telegraph or independant, of a bloke in tears

guys guys - the guardian has a stone cold classic today, i'll try to find it

argh not online - it goes with this article:

i swear to jesus - it's as if chris kattan were playing a stock trader

Ooooh yeah that one's a humdinger.

Same dude does the serious double-phone look.

This thread should be a book

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)

does anyone actually know what these guys (sorry, and women) do and understand it?

BUY SELL AAARGH *bang*

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.

if i were a newspaper's website i'd have a page with links to every front page since my inception! it's ridiculous.

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.

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?

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.

Can someone who speaks German tell me why these people are smiling?

I mean these people

Just finished swinging on gigantic phone.

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.

Big chunks of pre-web newspaper archives have been pulled because fears of lawsuits by freelancers.

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.

(although i'd imagine they were very quickly "persuaded" to sign a contract allowing once-only online reprinting for no extra payment)

Thanks, and it explains the dangling phone.

(if Brian Clough had been in charge, none of this would have happened)

haha just seen that one on bbc, actually thought it was more like a Baldwin look

And the woman next to time is getting pissed off with his melodrama.

Germans are so emotional.

Clearly this thread started a fad.

Even Time is getting in on the act!
