This article right now is, I think, a really good example of how articles giving background information about current events can be credibly updated with very recent information. It reports information that will probably be perfectly valid, as well of some interest, five years from now. What it notably doesn't do is give the most recent, shaky details of what's going on there, based on uncertain sources. I think that's a good thing. I propose a rule...I guess I'll put this on "rules to consider": in writing a news background article, put down stuff only that, it is reasonable to think, will remain of interest and will probably be perfectly valid, five years from now. Something like that. --LMS
