News

“News” was a category on the old site; the links to it are still live, so its pieces are listed here.

100 pieces, filed between and

What you are looking at is the whole of the old category “News”: 100 pieces, in the order they were filed, most recent at the top. There is no article behind this address. It exists because the name does, and because links made to it years ago still arrive.

Everything on the list was filed in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The dates under the headlines are the dates the pieces went up and they have not been touched since: an archive that quietly re-dates itself is worth less than one that admits how old it is.

The pieces below are filed on Nets, so the desk is the better place to read around them: it puts them next to everything else on the same subject instead of only next to the ones that happen to share a name.

It is worth being clear about what is absent. No ratings, no recommendations, no ordering by quality, and no note telling you which of the pieces below still holds up. Those judgements belong in the writing, and where one of them turned out to be wrong it is said on the piece itself.
