Common questions
What counts as culture on this site?
High Street Culture takes the phenomenon rather than the release: where something came from, who it is for and what it says. Internet & language covers the online end, Living & behaviour the habits, Arts & institutions the formal culture, Ideas the argument, and Food, sport & everyday culture the rest of ordinary life.
Is this criticism or reporting?
Reporting, with criticism quoted and attributed. The site summarises what named writers and publications have argued rather than making the argument itself, and a judgement in a piece belongs to whoever is credited with it.
How do you avoid inventing a trend?
By requiring that somebody else reported it first, and naming them. A piece describes what a publication or a study observed, with a link, rather than declaring a movement into existence.
Why do the pieces carry no byline?
They are written with automated assistance from the source material and carry no personal byline, crediting the source publication instead. Nobody here is presented as a critic or an essayist.
When do new pieces appear?
Through the day as reporting appears, so the front page reorders itself rather than resetting on a schedule. Quiet days stay quiet, because a piece exists only once somebody else has reported something.
How are corrections handled?
The Corrections page asks for the article address and the claim you believe is wrong. Fixes go on the article with a dated note at the foot, and substantive corrections are listed on that page.
