A local newsroom receives a filing from the Court of Public Opinion.

No background. No commentary. No clear reason yet to care.

Just a timestamp, a docket entry, and a trial scheduled for Friday at 9 a.m.

As editors decide where—and how—to run the notice, the story finds its place on page twelve:
between the obituaries, the legal notices, and the horoscopes.

The page where people check what’s ending, what’s required, and what might happen next.

This is not analysis. It’s not advocacy.
 It’s how stories quietly enter the public record—
 and how most people flip past them without noticing.
