The river

How this feed is put together
Editorial coverage only. Vendor press releases are left out, even where an outlet carries them under its own masthead. Bylines are printed as published — outlets that run news unsigned get no byline here rather than an invented one, and the timestamp column stays blank for the many legal trade publications that print a date but no time. Nothing is summarised from a headline alone; every row links to the report it came from.
