Looking at the archive there does not appear to be a clear editorial opinion about what security news is. Some articles are useless in terms of security practice, e.g. the Ashley Madison settlement which is legal news and titillation but there are no lessons or reasons to change security practice. Good luck. |

You are right, the filter of what makes news is something that I'm calibrating as I write more issues and learn more. I generally try and share only educational articles, like you said. In the case of Ashley Madison I found it to be an interesting story about accountability for lack of security.
But sometimes I'll just share something because it, well, made the news, and got a lot of attention that week, as I feel that's what many subscribers want. Or just something funny.
I do try to stay away from politics, privacy-only news (one can start a separate newsletter on that), and non-actionable news about a small exploit that was found and patched, that helps no one who reads it.
