About Palestine+
How the layers work
Every story is one line with up to four layers under it. Each layer sits one line deeper, and one tint darker, than the last.
News from Palestine comes fast and it comes heavy. Palestine+ is built so you can take as much as you have time for: the line for the skim, the layers for the rest.
- The fact
One sentence: what happened, where, and who says so. If you read nothing else, read this.
- Context
Why it matters now: what came before, and the rule, line or deal it touches.
- Numbers
The figures that measure it, each with the date it was true and the body that counted.
- Voices
People who were there or who decide, quoted in their own words, short and exact.
- What next
The next date, vote, hearing or deadline, if anyone has set one. If not, we say so.
The plus
A news line is a horizontal stroke. The plus is that line with one more standing across it, waiting to be laid down. Press it and the standing line falls flat beneath the first: you are one layer deeper. The badge beside a headline, 3, counts the layers under it.
Sources
Every line and every layer carries the name of the body that published it and a link to where. We prefer the people closest to the event: health authorities, UN agencies, municipalities, rights groups that count, and reporters who were there. Where accounts differ we give both and say who says what.
Corrections
When we get something wrong we change it and say so at the foot of the story and on the corrections page, with the date.
