In other news

Sometimes it s worth just looking away from the headlines to see what is going on but not being noticed. I spotted that the revised BBC news pages had narrowed down the amount of smaller reports, the sort of thing I liked to see.

So have you seen the news about the US withdrawing from Open Skies – and selling of the equipment quickly making it hard for Biden to rejoin?

Have you spotted the new security requirements being proposed for our telecom network?

Have you seen that the EU is about to allow class action lawsuits?

Did you spot the Russian plan to open a nuclear ship capable port in Africa?

What was the decision the UK made on future nuclear power last week?

It gets harder and harder to dig out the small news that might just be more interesting to some of us. We have news organisations working together and serving us up the same information.

Take a news story, copy some text from the middle. Search for it BUT make sure you put quote marks around it. How many outlets have used those exact words?

And if you have a group you are a member of that digs in to issues, don’t think that helps – they only publish the things you want to hear.

It’s almost like it is time to create a web site for news that isn’t in the news.

So where do you get news that isn’t mainstream news?
