Portico recently announced that the Mellon Foundation will provide funding for a collaborative project between NYU Libraries and Portico to strengthen community engagement, expand technical capacity, and help develop a sustainable model for preserving born-digital local news.
For Portico, the project builds on ongoing work to explore scalable, preservation-grade approaches for safeguarding born-digital journalism. By preserving content directly from newsroom content management systems, the initiative is helping address an emerging preservation challenge while minimizing the operational burden on participating news organizations.
