Fair point regarding it perhaps not being a token article. What I was trying to express is the lack of attention the trial is receiving, no one I know has mentioned it because the media has decided not to give it any obvious coverage, obvious in the sense that people realise it is something that is currently happening. The Guardian has chosen many mundane subjects to grace it's homepage that I think most readers would agree are much lower on the importance scale. Someone at the organisations has obviously decided "yes, we need to cover it, but just do the minimum we have to to appear to not be ignoring it"

Agreed, though equally interesting how social media seem to not be picking up upon it either - at least going by Twitter trends in the UK: https://trends24.in/united-kingdom/ https://trends24.in/united-kingdom/ Though given those trends, kinda glad the front page is not composed around those trends as a whole and with that, we should be thankful as the news would be a far sadder place if that was the case. [EDIT ADD] the BBC article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51633303 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51633303 seems like it could and should traction and if enough people click the link - it would actually make the front page given how the BBC has the top 10 articles being viewed listed upon its front page. So there is some people power input upon this that you can exercise.

  This is correct, I'm now seeing it near the bottom of the homepage. The decision not to the show it during prime news reading hours in the morning and mid day would have been a conscious decision though I believe. I think there's some apathy towards the case these days.

"decided" versus do give it a different priority then you do. They are much further away from this story as we are. I can ask plenty of people whats up with assange and they will just not know anything much. There might be no article from him today but i have read plenty of articles about him the last few weeks. Including the criticisim of how he gets treated. So what is the real issue? I would say none. Would i say there is some deliberate action going on? Also no.
