I have asked our local newspaper for a copy of their digital files since
they send the paper to the printers digitally. I have offered to wait a
few years to get the files if they are worried about public access (I
can't see why though) Their reply has been that they don't archive those
files and that they go to the presses in pieces instead of as a sheet so
there is no complete file for each paper. They delete each days files
after the paper is run. It would sure be nice to have a system set up
for archiving those files, especially the photos. Does the Wisconsin
Historical Society have any clout with the Wisconsin Newspaper
Association to start talks on a system like that?
