What is "newsdiffs"

NewsDiffs is a website that records changes to news organizations' websites. The website archives article revisions from The New York Times, CNN, Politico, The Washington Post, and the BBC.

It was created in June 2012 by former The New York Times journalist Jennifer 8. Lee, MIT graduate student Eric Price, and Tddium employee Greg Price. Written in the Python programming language, the source code is stored on GitHub. Reviewers praised the site for capturing changes during an era of fast news cycles but lamented the difficulty of finding substantial changes from the exhaustive stream of articles.
