The news desk opens on the facts

The news desk is for changes a player can verify: a release, a postponement, a policy, a studio note, a competitive ruling. Recaps of what people are mad about come later, and only when the underlying fact is clear.

Headlines stay specific. “Something huge just dropped” is not a headline we will publish. If we link out, the link is the source, not a funnel.

This first note is the standard. Later stories on this desk should be able to stand next to it.
