Legal Workshop Working Group: Sustaining Television News for the Next Generation
:
2018
Abstract
The legal working group met to discuss legal environment of television news archives. The group established four main examples to which their responses were based: Vanderbilt Television News Archive, UCLA Library Broadcast NewsScape, American Archive of Public Broadcasting, and Internet Archive TV News Archive. The legal group conversation had three discussions, first the legal basis for providing access to news archives, next possible next steps for news archives that stay within legal limits, and finally the ramifications of past lawsuits to the future of news archives.
