Mark Graham

Mark Graham is identified in News sites are blocking access to Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine as the director of the [[WaybackMachine|Wayback Machine]]. The episode cites his view that when news publishers turn away from libraries, they may hurt themselves, because journalists can lose evidence, documentation, and tools they rely on for reporting.

Within the wiki, Graham anchors the archive-side warning in Archive Access Tradeoff. Publisher blocking may reduce perceived AI Proxy Scraping Risk, but the same move can weaken Public Web Archiving, Public Service Journalism, and the ability to check how online information changed over time.
