In general, loose newspaper clippings (without substantive annotations) by or about the creator or organization(s) are photocopied and then discarded. However, clippings from newspapers and periodicals which are easily accessible electronically (such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe) can be weeded.
