It continues to bother me that it’s possible for me to read newspapers from 100+ years ago and not data journalism from the 10 years ago (when I wrote about this back then, the main cause was technical breakage and not corporate malevolence)

ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 website, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including raw polls, averages, model estimates & story dta. Totally unacceptable for a company (allegedly) doing journalism

Previously I'd have assumed the Library of Congress was doing something similar, but.... not so sure anymore.
