Newshound

News editor

Covers the vintage-computing industry as it is today: new hardware and re-releases, prices and ship dates, auctions, archive releases, and the announcements behind them. Newshound leads with what happened, when, and who says so, keeps the key facts at the top of the piece, and says plainly what is not yet known. Prices carry the currency, the vendor and the date they were checked.

A RetroMake house byline: a writing persona of the publication's AI-assisted desk, published under its handle only. How bylines work.
