My question is: does this same principle extend to newspapers? Recently I discovered the Archive section of the New York Times website and am blown away by the amount of material they have on record, going all the way back to the 1850's. There is just such a wealth of rich material in there - you could use it in SO many ways, the mind boggles. I want so much to believe this is all in the public domain prior to a certain date, but it seems too good to be true. I'm thinking maybe newspaper copyright works differently than magazines. What can you tell me about that? You mention 1964 for magazines - is there a similar cutoff point for newspaper content? Looking forward to your reply - keep up the awesome work!

Also thanks for the great question! Magazines and Newspapers in the public domain - this is an absolute goldmine, no question. There are millions of newspapers and magazines in the public domain and yes, copyright renewals were often NOT made. With magazines and newspapers from the U.S. especially, the vast majority of titles were not renewed in their 28th year after publication. And remember, being based in the U.K., the Rule of the Shorter Term will work to your advantage in most cases. It’s great to hear from you and thank you for writing.

What a Christmas present! Thank you Logan & Debra! I have watched your site grow and it has taken off beautifully! Both of you really come together to deliver GREAT value to us loyal readers :) I have found tons of interesting info from old newspapers to use on a few of my sites. It is truly amazing all of the neat things that can be found in them - whether you're into old cars, history, projects, comics - whatever it is - you're bound to find something of interest. Be fore-warned - it is almost as easy to get lost flipping through virtual newspapers as it is to get lost surfing the web :) Wow! What a Christmas present! Thank you Logan & Debra!
