摘要：	By definition, the news media is obsessed with the new. The old joke goes: 'If it happens once it's news; if it happens a second time it's a feature.' This is a curse and a blessing. Just as a scandal can be brought to light, so it can be quickly forgotten as the press pack rushes on to the next story. The characters involved go from power players to pub quiz questions faster than you can say: 'Remember Dominic Cummings?' Reading the news even a week later can sometimes feel like walking through a graveyard of the living dead. Ghosts of lost passions wander the long grass, some of them still hoping for attention. The confidence rings hollow, the splashes have evaporated. As a trade magazine, naturally we also aim to celebrate the new. We promote innovation, we champion progress and solutions. Luckily for us, our fine sector is full of all of these. In this month's magazine, you will find new equipment, new materials, new testing systems, new research, new training opportunities, new forms of benefit cost evaluation, new safety campaigns, new contracts and of course, news. In trade reporting though, a certain amount of institutional memory is essential. We have to dedicate some of our time to charting what remains the same; supporting hard-won lessons of the past and sorting the tried from the untested to find what can actually help you do your jobs.
