原生数字新闻内容正日益成为历史初稿的格式。研究和保存这段历史对学术研究的未来至关重要，但许多技术、法律的、财政和后勤方面的挑战阻碍了这些努力。对于新闻应用程序或包含当今最复杂的新闻报道的定制网站来说尤其如此，例如ProPublica的“美元换广告”项目。许多新闻应用程序都是查询数据库的独立软件，而这一重要的应用程序子集不能像基于文本的新闻故事那样存档，也不能被Archive-It等Web存档工具完全捕获。本文将概述数字新闻应用程序的归档和保存所面临的各种挑战，以及如何处理这一重要工作的建议。
Born-digital news content is increasingly becoming the format of the first draft of history. Archiving and preserving this history is of paramount importance to the future of scholarly research, but many technical, legal, financial, and logistical challenges stand in the way of these efforts. This is especially true for news applications, or custom-built websites that comprise some of the most sophisticated journalism stories today, such as the “Dollars for Docs” project by ProPublica. Many news applications are standalone pieces of software that query a database, and this significant subset of apps cannot be archived in the same way as text-based news stories, or fully captured by web archiving tools such as Archive-It. As such, they are currently disappearing. This paper will outline the various challenges facing the archiving and preservation of born-digital news applications, as well as outline suggestions for how to approach this important work.
