The Signpost (on en-wikipedia) is also collecting news articles as
well, and may have better English-language coverage (the other site is
good as a starting point for the worldwide coverage, but attempting to
be comprehensive with something like that is laudable if difficult -
at some point the coverage of Wikipedia outstripped the ability of
Wikipedians to document it - wonder what that says about Wikipedia).

In fact, I have a theory that Wikipedia makes only *part* of the
Internet not suck. (that should be in a new post).
