The 4th article listed in the “latest news” is the news story that in years to come people will ask where were you when “Harry Style’s buzz cut reveal lights up fan debate”.Not that unusual these days; typically, one of the four with-photograph-but-not-main stories on the website will now be entertainment and/or fluff (at time of writing, the fourth story is about reviews for The Crown). I suppose they'd argue it's an effort to both show a greater range of stories and to emulate a TV bulletin headline sequence in which the last (i.e., fifth or sixth) item will be more light-hearted and not implied to be the fifth or sixth most important story in the world. Nonetheless, it does always stick out for me.
