The Lede Is Going Dark

The Lede will no longer be updated, but the blog’s regular features, including live coverage of breaking news and discussion of events on social media, will remain a part of The New York Times news report.

You can continue to find timely discussion of national and international events on our website, on our mobile site and on New York Times apps. Though posts like those published on The Lede will no longer be presented as a blog, our reporters and editors will continue to combine original reporting with social media content and curated video in the stories that they cover across our site.

Robert Mackey will write a column, Open Source, (also on Twitter @NYTOpenSource) for the World news section of The Times. You can follow him on Twitter at @RobertMackey. You can also follow other Times journalists from The Lede, including Christine Hauser (@christineNYT) and Jennifer Preston (@JenniferPreston).
