news clippings

Saved newspaper pieces

News clippings are articles or items cut from newspapers or magazines and saved.

Before digital archives, people maintained collections of clippings on topics of interest—family mentions, favorite subjects, professional references.

The term persists even when the "clipping" is digital: She kept news clippings about the case in a folder.

Also called press clippings.
