In the future, will news archives no longer be accessible?

Key Points

The reliance on journalistic material in humanities research raises concerns about future accessibility.
This trend may significantly impact social science research methodologies and findings.
The shift towards digital news is changing the way researchers retrieve and utilize archival content.

This article aims to discuss in what extent this information treatment will affect social science in the future. Keywords: news archives; digital news; digital media; news research.
