TL;DR Summary

Archivists warn that a Paramount-WBD merger could give private control of CNN and CBS News archives, risking reduced public access to historical footage. Led by the Archival Producers Alliance, they argue the consolidation could affect memory and storytelling, cite past licensing panics, and spotlight concerns about AI blurring reality in documentaries. The issue was foregrounded at the Bentonville Film Festival with calls to safeguard archives and access.
