I'm using a desktop with Chrome browser, and on the website I'm getting "Top News" at the beginning of the page.
I use the "Text Only Compact view".

The "Top News" is two days old and I've already read it, so I'm not interested in seeing it again.

Thank you for any assistance.

The new Top News is a pinned section of the general news where a few articles stay permanently until unpinned.

My Feedback:

Positive:
- It enables highlighting of articles that can easily be skipped when you have too many articles on the top level Rotating News Highlight above that section.

Negative:
- It feels like a third wheel. Literally it is the third section of highlighted news after the Rotating News Highlight and the Side Bar.
- It disrupts the ordered feeling of the General News section of the site, as now a section of General News does not obey its date formatting.
- It pushes the ordered by date news further down the screen space.

This is feedback from my initial reaction to the feature. It was especially odd seeing articles I had previously read in the general news section turn up pinned the next morning. I respect that choices of site design shall be evaluated and iterated upon by your team members with web design expertise.

Thanks. We hadn't thought of that.
I'll have something to that effect added shortly.
