If no one on the entire internet cares enough to compile a list enumerating at least a single percentage fraction of such works, then it suggest the news itself is not that important to any actual, tangible, individual.

We (the demos) are supposed to give people a time-limited monopoly in return for them ultimately enriching the public domain. If the works entering the public domain are spent then we need to adjust the deal until it heavily benefits the pubic domain -- the works should still be culturally relevant, so they should be works that are at most [let's say] 30 years old where a parent could share the cultural experiences of works from their own youth with a child.
