Breaking News
“Breaking News” was a category on the old site; the links to it are still live, so its pieces are listed here.
20 pieces, filed between and
This page collects the old category “Breaking News”. 20 pieces carry it, and the list is recounted from the site’s own pages at every rebuild rather than typed out by hand once and left to drift.
All of it belongs to 2015 and 2016, which is worth saying plainly and near the top: this is an archive page, the pieces on it are old, and they are kept because people still link to them rather than because they are current.
Read alongside Nets. A name collects by keyword and a desk collects by subject, and the desk is almost always the wider of the two.
There is no editorial layer on this page at all — no rating, no ranking, no note steering you towards one item over another. The order is chronological and that is the whole of it.
