How To Tap Into A Massive GOLDMINE of Public Domain Newspapers

December 1st, 2008 · 3 Comments · Magazine Issues

Dear Reader,

Welcome aboard the fifth issue of “Public Domain Treasure Hunter Magazine”, the only digital magazine exploring ingeniously creative and outrageously lucrative ways to profit from the public domain! This magazine is dedicated to exploring unique and little known ways to repackage and republish public domain material for fun and profit.

Have you ever stopped to consider the sheer amount of newspapers published worldwide in the last few centuries? Even in the U.S. alone the number is huge!

There were millions of newspapers published before 1923 and every one of them is in the public domain. Millions more were published in the U.S. between 1923 and 1963 with out timely copyright renewal.

Imagine this – a daily newspaper published in the U.S. between 1923-1963 would have its very first issue come up for copyright renewal 28 years later right?

The second daily issue would come up for renewal the day after that and so on and so on. Issues would be coming up for renewal every single day for the entire remaining run of the paper (at least until 1963 anyway).

The newspaper would have to have a dedicated full-time staff at the copyright office just to keep track of all the renewals and make sure every issue was renewed on time! Even keeping up with renewals for weekly or monthly papers would be extremely difficult to manage.

Also, it was common for newspaper publishers to believe that their papers didn’t have any commercial value after 28 years had passed.

The time, cost, and hassle involved with renewing combined with the perceived lack of commercial value, are the two main reasons why not many of the millions of newspapers published in the U.S. between 1923-1963 were renewed.

This is great news for us because it leaves behind a massive stockpile of newspaper content in the public domain for us to dive into and legally use as content for our own projects!

In this issue of “Public Domain Treasure Hunter Magazine”, we’re going to be discussing how and why you should be using public domain newspapers in your publishing business as a rich source of practically never ending content.
