Sox News Weekly Volume 1 Issue 1 8 August 2026
The inaugural issue
Sox News Weekly opens with the launch period of the rolling site: an American tariff on the cheapest energy technology there is, a Canberra rebate that finally reaches the businesses it was meant for, and a fuel tax holiday that ends at the worst possible moment.
Sox News Weekly is a continuing publication issued once every week, on Saturday, with no planned end date. Each issue carries a volume number, an issue number, a cover date and a permanent URL.

Editor’s note
This first issue collects the journalism Sox News published in its launch weeks and fixes it in a numbered, dated, permanently addressed edition. From Issue 2 onward each issue covers the seven days ending on its Saturday cover date. The rolling front page continues to publish as news breaks; the weekly edition is the record of what a given week amounted to.
