The “Latest News” section on the site provides a reason to return, assuming it’s updated with some regularity. At the time of writing, the news items all were a bit organization-centric, using that insider point of view rather than featuring news items that might be of interest to those less connected to WLT.

It’s fine to incorporate some insider news items, but the trick here is balance.
