So people keep pointing to NYTimes stories, but I go on the Time's site at least 2-3 times daily, spread throughout the day, and I still have not seen a single story on the Time's main page. I'm not going to call it "front page" now because there are around ~130 stories there. Not one of those 130 stories there currently cover this. Ctr-F "train", "Ohio", "Palestine" etc. In those 130 articles there are the Wirecutter reviews for kettles, "The Man Who Caught Marilyn Monroe’s Skirt on Film," "Where #VanLife meets #SkiBum," the size of the surf waves, etc etc etc, but nothing on the train derailment. Have these articles been showing up on the main page and I keep missing them? Or are they permanently buried in the "US News" section where I'm sure only a small fraction of Times digital readers ever turn to?

  To my understanding, a huge portion of NYT works on algorithms. "Not enough hits on the news? Probably others don't either, so no need to put on front page" kinda scenario. Which, I kinda understand. The other news are more... engaging. Balloons, super bowl, thousands of people dying from another environmental catastrophe in Turkey and etc. are more engaging in daily discussions, so other stories simply get buried.

  I definitely saw in the top headlines on NYTimes.com. Wouldn't be surprised if different layouts are served. The reviews and lifestyle/art definitely fell underneath the news of the train.

  That basically shows a lack of interest from readers. The NYTimes publishes a newspaper worth of articles and opinion pieces daily. And then they add a whole bunch of videos, cooking stuff, reviews (wire cutter), sports (athletic) online. Most of it gets surfaced largely by algorithm. And it’s evident the algorithm is not tracking any interest from readers.

“Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio issued an urgent evacuation notice on Sunday night to more than 500 people who had previously declined to leave their homes and were within a one-mile radius of the derailment site.”
