As of the early 1970s, broadcast TV news networks routinely recycled video footage and had no in-house library or research services. Addressed in Edward Jay Epstein's News from Nowhere (1973). https://archive.org/details/newsfromnowheret00epst/page/n5/m... Early entertainment programming was also often not saved. Some present archives exist soley because audience members "pirated" copies off the air. Preservation of commercially-motivated product is often a very low priority. (Ironic given the US's Mickey Mouse copyright legislation.) |
