This is only tangentially related, but I'd just like to thank the NHS for their excellent news site [1] which soberly reviews health related news, and is outsourced to part of the Economist Group.
They could certainly do with improving its accessibility, though. I wish there was some way to subscribe to it. I have to use a third party service to create an RSS feed from it.

- arctangent 8y agoI'm the tech lead for the NHS website (www.nhs.uk) and I oversee the team who are building this frontend library. I will pass on your comments about RSS to our architect (who gets to decide these things). We do syndicate all of our content via a service which requires registration. Maybe you could try this as a workaround? https://developer.api.nhs.uk/ https://developer.api.nhs.uk/
- bovine3dom 8y agoAh, thank you. RSS would be great for me (and that API looks really neat!), but I meant more generally - perhaps for people who don't browse HN. The content on Behind the Headlines is fantastic, but the page seems a bit unloved. If I search for "health news" on Google it doesn't appear at all (I checked the first 7 pages of results). The SEO for the individual articles is admittedly much better. I think I personally found the page by accident when I was looking for some news about the NHS. So, I'm not sure what I'd recommend (other than perhaps an email newsletter for the less technically-inclined). It seems like you have a real diamond in the rough there with great content which is let down by presentation.
