The keep it in the Features section and don’t try to dress click-bait as News.

Not all news needs to be heavy.

True, but news does rather need to be news.

That’s why there are sections for news, sport, business, lifestyle, opinion and so on. Someone clicking on News doesn’t expect to find fluffy features in the news section, just as someone looking for a fluffy read doesn’t expect to see the latest court roundup in the features section. The editor cocked up and put a feature in the news section. All he had to do was move it to its logical ‘home’ and no-one would’ve cared. Instead, he squirms.

Nice to know there actually *is* some kind of editor at the Adver now. Perhaps we’ll seen an end to such laughable headlines as quot;Police Appeal Following Indecent Exposure.”

Hate to deflate your conspiracy theory, Hmmmf, but to reiterate this article was deliberately drafted across to the main feed as well as its original home in features (where the original copy remains). It’s a standard measure to give a feature item more prominence on the homepage if we think will prove popular, as was the case here, and in last week’s ‘hottest weekend’ if you want to check back.
Had this been a “c*ck up” as you suggest I could have easily moved the article and deleted all of your comments, so no squirming would have been necessary.
I’m hoping to take more time interacting with many of you, be it here or via email (see ‘contact us’). If any of you have any constructive comments or criticisms I’m always happy to receive them and I’ll answer as many of you as I can.
