"The Poynter Institute partners with Internet Archive and Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) to bring preservation and web archive training to 300 news organizations throughout 2026 and 2027. This Press Forward-funded initiative was developed to preserve vital local online news content that often vanishes when publications cease to exist or technology changes. Beginning March 2026, participating organizations will receive online and in-person training, including free access to tools, services and networking opportunities to support the sustainability of digital news."
"The project will create a national framework for digital preservation that serves newsrooms' "immediate internal needs and communities' future information needs," according to Press Forward. "Journalism is the first draft of history, and we're at risk of losing that history thanks to changes in a newsroom's technology, ownership and even outside pressure to erase it," said Kristen Hare, program lead and Poynter's director for craft and local news. "This program offers Internet Archive's stellar preservation services and training to help newsrooms plan ahead.""
