New digital library will preserve video game journalism for future generations

Whatever you think of contemporary video game journalism, it’s now being preserved for future generations.

The Entertainment Media Council — the association for business leaders in the video game industry — is building a non-profit media library to archive what it calls the “rich history of video games.” The library is starting with full-text content from online magazine The Escapist, which began publishing in 2005 and is a three-time winner of the Webby award for best games-related website.
