So you might want to update your In the News section.

I think Trump's said something.
Brexit still means Brexit
NHS is in crisis

If you mean the talk topic, then it's up to us to generate new content.

I thought that bit on the side was simply the most active threads

I thought the In the News bit on the side was just anything that was newsworthy.

No matter what area it's posted in.

in the news has been awfully stagnant for quite a while.

I'm sure Trump will liven things up.

President Trump inauguarated
Trump tweets about China
Trump tweets about North Korea
Nuclear missiles on standby

Theresa May did a speech today. It was quite important.
Bet there's a thread somewhere about it.

Brexit threads will be in their own topic, not in "In The News" so wouldn't be picked up to go on the sidebar.

Yes - but In the News covers things that are newsworthy - and not necessarily in the News topic.

2 of them are in Chat
3 of them are in the News.

Otherwise what's the point of that space - they could put more sponsorship places there.

Must admit I've been a bit perplexed by the 'In the News' section - do you think MNHQ have forgotten it's there?

Hi Everyone, sounds like we're not making the most of In the News, I shall pass the message on to the big cheeses. Smile

Meanwhile in the news, there's a national courgette shortage.

Anything else?

Biggest demonstration by women [and men] in the history of women.

But courgettes...they pretty much run the world so priorities...

No one posts in In The News. It's not HQ's fault (although I do think they should move stuff out of chat and aibu and in to the relevant topic but that's just me).

Also in the news - Andy Murray.

Yes but the In the News SIDEBAR on the right is what we are talking about. Not the In the News forum.

MN take some threads about things in the news that are anywhere on MN and puts links to them.

Yep - the 'in the news' sidebar links to threads anywhere, not just those in "in the news" (bit of a confusing sentence!)

bibbitybobbityyhat · 22/01/2017 15:19

Oh I see. I thought that sidebar just linked to threads in In The News Grin.

Which is why, I thought, it always looks so lame, lurking there under the cheesy video links to recipes and podcasts and other fripperies.

Chelsea Manning's sentence being commuted is an odd choice to still be hanging around in the In The News section...

I could have sworn some news has happened this week.

Has anything big happened in the world? Or are courgettes and Tom Hardy the key stories in the news?

There is a LOT of articulate discussion on here about important topics.
