>Newspapers should open archives (Dan Gillmor)
Why do I love the 21st century? Because the day after having a discussion with someone about how most newspapers are squandering an amazing opportunity by putting their archives behind silly pay walls, I find these two articles in my reader. Awesome.

Please feel free to compare and contrast the BBC’s approach with the one still being pursued by so many American newspapers.
