That reminds me - my wife had a friend who was killed by a shark (no joke). There were newspaper articles, but Google has completely forgotten about this and the newspapers are often behind a paywall, changed their URL's or simply the article vanished from those sites as well, which certainly doesn't help.
I wonder how libraries, who have traditionally been the ones to archive the news, have kept up with everything moving online and now being subscription-holed. Hopefully it's not just the Internet Archive doing this, which has its own problems.
My library system has an aggressive book weeding policy where books that haven't circulated enough in about 2 years get binned. the excuse is other libraries have a copy available for inter library loan, but of course, those libraries have to weed as well.
so no they are not archiving their own core books let alone periodicals
