.NEWS Domain Extension

Why choose a .NEWS domain?

This is the most perishable word in the entire root zone. We already have .today, which promises daily freshness. This one goes further: a story ages in hours, sometimes in minutes. The promise is therefore demanding, and it is checked at a glance. A .news site whose latest article is dated March disqualifies itself before anybody reads a word of it.

Perishability

Visible dates and times, timestamped updates, corrections flagged. An undated article inspires less trust than an old one that is dated.

The local title

Council meetings, courts, the local economy, junior sport. What the national press no longer covers, and nobody else will.

The source

Who writes, who funds it, how mistakes are corrected. A serious “about” page is worth more than ten more articles.

The newsletter

The morning summary, sent at a fixed hour, short and complete. It has become the most loyal format in local journalism.

A grammatical oddity

Despite the s, “news” is singular: the news is. Like .equipment and .software it is uncountable — three cases in our entire catalogue.

What it actually changes

• It is the most perishable word in the catalogue. More demanding still than .today: here, neglect shows within hours.
• It is understood in French. The word circulates there untranslated, alongside “nouvelles”.
• No registration restrictions. No press credentials or media status to demonstrate to the registrar.
• It works as an email address too. newsdesk@granby.news takes tip-offs separately from advertising.
