Below the Fold
Skirmish: fold (@melodic)Liner Notes
This was hard, but the beginnings of something.
Lyrics
You might have to dig But you don’t have to dig deep The truth of the world Is not a secret to keep The top three headlines That news is already old What you really need to know You will find it below the fold
Scroll down Scroll down
It’s like the first things you see At the front of the store That’s part of the design But you know that there’s more What you see at first glance That story’s tightly controlled But the state of the world You will find it below the fold
Scroll down Scroll down

The fold of a newspaper is an interesting approach and I like how it is spun philosophically. I remember earlier in my career when I dealt with a newpaper reporter that getting a story above the fold was one of their goals.
Ooh - like the idea very much. I wonder how many people <20 would understand the "fold" reference? "Scroll past the clickbait" doesn't feel the same.
A good thought. Probably “below the fold” is a term of art that only news reporters and editors care about.
i agree using the fold of the news paper is intriguing and then blending it with the modern version of a digital article to scroll through is interesting. curious where you'd take it from here. thanks for participating!
