When we put together our editorial calendar each summer for the following year, we do our best to get a read on the mining Zeitgeist and respond with a plan for our coverage that will, ideally, still be relevant some 18 months into the future when the final issue of the calendar is published. Our "Net-Zero Challenge" department, as an example, was inspired by the cascade of miners announcing ambitious short -and long-term carbon reduction targets, a demonstrated interest from our audience for discussion on the subject, as well as the countless obstacles, some easily spotted and others likely hiding just over the horizon, on the way to that goal. That opens the door to a number of story possibilities.
