Things I would have liked this article to include:
* A link to the actual suit
* Some of the specific claims made in the suit: is Gino alleging inaccuracies, or something else?
* An explanation of what "Data Colada" is, and who is funding it. Relevant because their employer would often fund the defense if it comes from research they paid for, and in this case all I've seen is that they are funding "some" of it, with an indefinite amount of the (expected) remainder being requested via GoFundMe. If they're a small, poorly-funded project, that would explain it, but I do want the article to give me this kind of context.
* I guess just in general I would have liked to see a more neutral tone, and for the writer to have some sort of legal background. Enough to provide the readers some sort of context for what is happening, rather than just how they should feel about it, which is what it seems to be doing.
It's a bad sign that I don't see much in this article that couldn't have been taken from the GoFundMe project page text.

- yoyoyo1122 3y agoConsidering this is like the 4th part of an ongoing story, it'd be repetitive having to always explain the context. That's why the first paragraph links to the previous article where it links to the actual suit.
- karaterobot 3y agoI don't think it would require a full reiteration of the original article. You can briefly summarize the relevant facts; newspapers have been handling ongoing stories this way for over a century, it's a well tested pattern. I've also seen websites that provide an executive summary and links in a callout box at the top of the page, that's an option too. Just providing an uncharacterized link does not serve the reader very well.
- trilobyte 3y agoYou're a google search away from a significant amount of background context.
- wackycat 3y agoThe suit filing was linked, albeit not very clearly, but the parenthetical mentioning Title IX as the reason it was filed in Federal court links to the suit. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.259933/gov.uscourts.mad.259933.1.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.259...
