Brewster’s concerns about the historical record are real and will eventually affect news orgs: their journalism may as well be ephemeral now without separate archiving. If a Wikipedia contributor, for example has to jump through extra hoops to get a stable link of a Times article, why wouldn’t they end up choosing an equally reliable WaPo article instead?
