Journalists from The Washington Post have chronicled the biggest and most important moments in our team’s history.
We are thankful to these dedicated professionals for the years of coverage they have provided to our passionate fans and to baseball fans across the country.

I wrote for @TheAtlantic about how archivists are contending with our digital detritus — whether we'll be able to save emails, texts, Discord chats, etc and what that means for how we tell history:

THE TIMES IS UNION MADE: Today is the annual State of The Times. As @NYTimes bosses extol the company’s success, our members from across the Times unions are handing out flyers to spread the word: There is no NYT without our members. @NYTGuildTech @wirecutterunion @NYTimesGuild

Our colleagues at The Athletic report, write, edit stories, record podcasts, create videos, promote articles and have their work featured in The New York Times. That’s why we call on the company to recognize them as part of the Times Guild. washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

Today, @nytimes unveiled 32 famous framed pages in their lobby to replace its previous exhibit.
Since I've been working here, part of my job was digitally remastering famous front pages from it's archives, utilizing microfilm, negatives, original photography and other sources to rebuild pages from ground up.
Enhancing pages digitally while keeping its historical integrity so that it looks "of its time" is a hard task that takes a lot of work - but also hugely rewarding. If you're in midtown Manhattan, you should come inside and check it out!

Since corporations are bad archivists (see: MTV News 🕳️), where do journalists turn to preserve their own work?
First stop: The Internet Archive's @waybackmachine.
And then? Well, it gets complicated, as @HanaaTameez highlights for @NiemanLab 👉 niemanlab.org/2024/07/to-pre…
ALT Quote graphic: "To preserve their work — and drafts of history — journalists take archiving into their own hands From loading up the Wayback Machine to meticulous AirTables to 72 hours of scraping, journalists are doing whatever they can to keep their clips when websites go dark."
Please read this deeply reported article by @HanaaTameez about archiving news content in the digital age. Such a great read and so important! niemanlab.org/2024/07/to-pre…

Once again: Everything you think is different about the modern age is just social media.
Before social media, Ivy League kids rioted over stupid stuff, but normal people just read about it in passing in the newspaper instead of arguing about it on social media for weeks.
I think it's time to bring the old @Patriots logo back! @nytimes reported on it back in 1960. timesmachine.nytimes.com/tim…
