Update Tor-in-the-press list

According to https://www.torproject.org/press/press the last time there was a meaningful article about Tor was July 1. This is very far from the case.

This is a great opportunity to crowd-source from our community and get some newer articles listed.

Can one of our volunteers take point on this and set up a wiki page and start tracking down articles? I think getting a good list from the past 6 months is the challenging part, and then getting that list onto the web page will be the easy part.

(I also encourage Tor Weekly News to start listing interesting press articles so it's easier to build the list in the future. I guess that means some mechanism for the TWN authors to notice them.)

Thanks!

I have also setup alerts for "tor" and "tor project".

I've ordered the articles in reverse chron. order to make it simpler to read. I can add as I find more articles.

Also: are we looking for just English language articles, or others? I have added a Danish article I found, and tagged it [DK] from ISO 3166-1 code.

next question: how to determine which are "significant Tor-related stories"

as this is for the site press page index, some threshold of relevance and originality would be useful... https://www.torproject.org/press/press

"next question: how to determine which are "significant Tor-related stories""

• Yep, articles I have been archiving mention Tor or the Tor Project as a major part of the story.

I will take the lead on getting these on the website. Thank you for putting them on the wiki - it saves lots of time and now I can get rid of my archaic excel spreadsheet I was using. I will also add to the wiki as I see things come through. RE the process of choosing articles - I suggest something easy - my plan is to post articles on the press page which are informative, positive for Tor, enlightening, etc. - it is not in our best interests to post on the press page article which are unflattering to Tor or the mission of freedom of speech. And then remind people on tor-assitants and tor-internal they are welcome to lobby for articles they feel strongly should be there.

Ok, I will continue to add articles as I find them. Also, is it just English language articles, or can it be other languages? I have been added non-English language articles with the language code appended. Any direction?

I agree with your comments, but I think to be as balanced as possible, the best approach would be to add articles to the wiki which mention Tor/The Tor Project in a significant way. Even if it is a negative way. The articles that are added to the "press" website can be a subset of this.

My reasoning is to be as balanced as possible. Not to skew the coverage in a positive only.

And then remind people on tor-assitants and tor-internal they are welcome to lobby for articles they feel strongly should be there.

Is tor-assistants list an internal Tor list, or can anyone join it? bBt

The press page has been brought up to date and will continue to be refreshed monthly unless a major news event happens and articles need to be posted immediately.

The wiki will continue to be updated as articles and other news links become available.
