Newspaper clipping
A newspaper clipping , also known as clipping , is still a way of archiving up-to-date in the days of the Internet.
From 1879, the collected newspaper clippings office Argus de la Presse in Paris for the first time commercially clippings.
The Dadaists and John Heartfield in particular used them artistically.
Even today newspaper clippings are collected and archived. Reports in the daily newspapers often only have regional significance and are not or only incompletely on the Internet . Newspaper clippings are used by press officers , press officers, etc. to check at any time whether and what has already been reported on a particular topic. They also provide information via a press release or the facts contained therein (see press review ). Annual reviews, etc. can also be produced on the basis of newspaper clippings.
Newspaper articles are often also in a paper-newspaper clipping layout in databases. Media archives thus document the meaning given in the print image of the newspaper articles that are least unnecessary for quick research: They are up-to-date, mostly well-researched and, in keeping with almost all of the following journalistic characteristics, tighter than books. In the Press Archive 20th century extensive thematic dossiers with clips from all of the world and to 1949 on the web are accessible.
