Culture

Sheffield's ex-partner killed in a knife and baseball bat attack, sparks fly over a controversial Israel-Gaza film, and a teacher at an elite boarding school loses her job over an undisclosed link to a convicted partner. Culture at the site stretches well beyond arts and entertainment, taking in the crimes, controversies and human stories that reveal something about how people live now, alongside the films, television and public figures that shape everyday conversation.

Here you'll also find the lighter and more reflective side of the news cycle: verdicts on the latest streaming hits and box-office flops, profiles of tech figures pursuing unusual ventures, and the odd stroke of luck or fate that turns an ordinary person's story into something worth telling. It sits alongside coverage of institutions under strain, from schools and legal bodies to the people who move between government and industry.

Taken together, this topic offers a broad, everyday view of society: what people are watching, what they're arguing about, and where individual choices collide with public consequences.
