Hot take: a guy from Nairobi roasted our 2019 coverage of the Sudan protests and it changed how I pick what to share
Back in 2019 I was helping run a small news roundup and I skipped the Sudan sit-in because I figured nobody here cared, until a reader named Otieno emailed from Nairobi saying our feed looked like it was written for people who already knew the story. He wrote "you buried the one thing that made people move" and honestly he was right, so now I check at least two local outlets from the country itself before I decide a story is too small. How do you all figure out what's actually buried versus what just didn't get clicks here?
