By “off-topic” we mean not on climate change (and related environmental/social justice issues) and not primarily Manchester
Always flagged in the title as “Off Topic:”
No more than one a month (ceiling not a target)
Written by one or both of the editors
Agreed by the editors
Almost always about something in Manchester
Almost always something that people can still do/see
Always something positive (i.e. we won’t use “off topic” to slag something off, even if it deserves it).
Won’t go in print edition
