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.
