language
Whenever possible, the News Items morning email uses the exact language used in the reports, commentaries, essays, etc. Some items are edited for clarity or cohesion. Hyper-links take you directly to the source(s) cited.
sources
Over all, News Items relies on roughly 65-75 websites for its source material. Many of those sites are pay-wall protected. Taking this into account, items sometimes run long, so that the reader (hopefully) gets the “gist” of the “story.
Distribution
News Items is distributed six days a week, by 6:45am ET on weekdays. The weekend edition is distributed Saturday or Sunday morning, depending on news flow.
philosophy
A famous novelist once said that great fiction described “the way we live now.” News Items describes, through journalism and analysis, “the way things are now.” It can be bracing and even discouraging at times, but it’s true.
