The mainstream media picked up two File 770 news articles in August, recognizing the work we do here.

File 770’s announcement of the 2024 Hugo Award winners – destined to be August’s top post anyway; it’s the Hugos, right? — found its way to the front of the Google News site and ended up with ten times more readers than expected.

A week later, Publishers Weekly linked to our investigative piece “SFWA: In My House There Are Many Issues”, adding to the already strong interest in what’s troubling the sff field’s top professional organization.
