What is a list of expiring news sources on the web?
Google and Yahoo AP for example will expire after about 10 days, but what are some other sources, I hate linking people to news only to find out they click on a dead link.
I would love to have a great big list of websites to avoid linking too and reward those that keep their stories up. CNN is probably the best for that, they still have links from the 90's working.

right but I'm looking for a list of expiring sources ;) Also I've experienced Newsweek expiring stories, although it could just be their very old stories that got redirected when they redesigned. I am not sure if their newest stories will expire.

I'm not sure of the answer, but, if you'd like my advice:
I'd re-word the question to look for news sources that *don't* expire. I'm willing to bet that people use news sources they know are good rather then avoid the ones they know are bad, if that makes any sense?
Good luck!

Good luck!
but I am looking for news sources that *do* expire, I want to help compile a list for archive builders at Mahalo to avoid, because archiving a news story from a source that will expire in 2 months is a waste of everybody's time.
Ooohhh. Sorry! I was so confused! I gave you the complete opposite. That's harder to find. Guess that's why you asked, huh? Good Luck!
It's not a big one, but my local paper, the Iowa City Press-Citizen, stuffs articles behind the paywall after a few months. It drives me nuts.
CNN sucks, US corporate news sites suck, most people don't realize it but mainstream media news is filtered by the government. They're only allowed to report on what the FCC deems allowable. I get my news online from alternative news sites such as rawstory.com (for breaking headlines) and alternet.org (for investigative reporting).
Mainstream media is in Uncle Sam's pocket. They helped GWB sell the war on false assertions that Saddam had WMDs (to be fair, he DID have WMDs... WMDs that Ronald Reagan sold him when Iraq was at war with Iran in the 80s. The IAEA [international somethin' somethin', the group that oversees the world's weaponry] found old, dilapidated stockpiles of chemical weapons that Reagan had sold Saddam, and discounted them, because they were unusable.)
If you want to know more about how that war was sold to the public, look around for a torrent called 'Buying the War' which aired on PBS in 2005 and not only did I video tape it on tv, I also found a torrent of it and downloaded it. I taped it off the tv because I'm severely hearing impaired (because of drugs given to me when I was hospitalized in 2001...yay war on (some) drugs!) so I videotaped it with the closed captioning on so i could understand what the hell was being said.

I don't understand why you'd purposely want expiring news sites. What's the point of reading news if you can't cite it at a later date and go back to it?
He's creating a database for Mahalo to avoid.
I love alternet, and I posted Buying the War online once the torrent was avail (back in '05). But I purposely want expiring news sites for the sole purpose of cateloguing sites that we don't want to use for the Mahalo archive
CNN has a great archive however the 'newer' articles often change headlines. For example if you find a page on "Caylee anthony's remains found" the next day the same like may say "Casey appears in court" for example. I think Reuters has expiring URL links as well. The New York Times is good.

ABC News moves links around too, forgot to mention earlier.
I would watch Reuters and Chron.com (Houston Chronicle) - both of those have expired on me often.
mocanews.net and cnnlive are best site and also www.boston.com :)
