What is The Lede Shift?
The Lede Shift tracks how news headlines change over time. We monitor major news sources and record when they update the titles and descriptions of their articles.
Why track changing headlines?
Headlines are often updated as stories develop or editorial decisions change. These changes can reveal interesting patterns about how news is framed and how stories evolve. The Lede Shift provides transparency by showing exactly when and how headlines change.
How does it work?
We regularly check the front pages of major news sources and record any changes to headlines and descriptions. When a change is detected, we record it with a timestamp so you can see exactly when the change occurred.
