Why have a News tab?

When adding or editing a product, if you add the “Made in” Country for the product it will pull in all the latest news related to that country.

So why have I added a tab called “News”? 

My reasoning behind this is empathy, I think we easily lose sight of where our clothes are made. Too often because of our browsing (amongst other things) habits we end up overlooking what happens in these countries. 

Does that feel right? These workers make products that we intimately know, our clothes, yet we often have little to no idea of what is going on in the countries where these workers are making the products that we wear. It’s a small step, however I hope that by adding this feature, it will make it a bit more convenient to stay in the loop on current news affecting countries where your clothes are made.

* All the articles are pulled from the Guardian News website. I picked the Guardian because it is a news source that I personally often use. The Guardian doesn’t charge for news, however if you find them (or any other journalistic outlet you regularly use) useful, I always recommend getting a subscription.
