It’s a lot. And there is a lot to take in.

We felt that there are just too many pieces out there where you can see the whole article just from the headline and we wondered if there was a more thoughtful way, at this time, to view things in context—to have great writing which tries to put things into historical context with a wider perspective, right now.

This is what we’re going to try and do, present quality writing and journalism, from voices you might not know, from off/center.
