About these recaps
Assembled from our own archive of
523 stories, which
currently runs from 4 October 2023. Ranking
is by the impact score described on the front page — an estimate of how much
a story is likely to affect one website, not a measure of how much attention
it got.
The archive only holds what it has seen. Periods before it started are
empty rather than quiet, and it gets more complete every week it runs.
