The policy and internal use agreement also dictates that officers “memorialize” their search “by a case number, call for service, or report number” in the “search reason” field. But in 2025, officers were frequently entering only “investigation” or abbreviations of it: “invest,” “inv” and “inves.”

Other reasons entered in 2025 include “Emily said to,” “Cuba,” “I” (or a lowercase l), “ATF Invest,” “DEA Invest,” “erratic,” “unauthorized use,” “suss white volvo,” “hot,” “Incestigation,” “rocks,” and “Social Media Inquiry.”

Hello, I use WayBack quite regularly but for the first time today received the following result after entering a URL from a public website (no paywalls).

"Sorry.

Has anyone ever seen this? What allows this? Can the URL owner request that its website not be saved?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Be it for report writing or something else? If you see it, does it concern you? If you use it, why? Does your agency have a policy prohibiting or limiting AI use?

I'm a reporter who is open to pivoting in order to find work as I relocate back to New York. (You may or may not have seen headlines in recent years of the constant layoffs hitting newsrooms nationally.) I've honed a lot of skills as a reporter (records requests, fighting for records/appeals, FOIA, research, following court cases, etc.) that I think would transfer well to an organization that does legal work to support journalists and the First Amendment more broadly.

I'm not at a point in my life where I'd want to go to law school, but wondering if getting a certificate as a paralegal would be worth it.

Does anyone in this thread work in media law and have thoughts they can share?

Thanks!
