Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
This article is a petition calling on major media outlets (New York Times, The Atlantic, USA Today) to publicly commit to working with the Internet Archive to preserve their journalism in the Wayback Machine. It highlights that 2026 marks the first World Press Freedom Day in 30 years where these outlets' work is not being preserved by the Internet Archive, following a change that began in February of this year. The petition argues that press freedom includes not just the right to write, but the right to have that work remembered for future generations.
