Top 10 Top News Stories of 2003
Selected here are ten of the biggest stories from the year 2003. The reasoning behind some choices will be obvious, but not in other cases. In general, I chose not simply those with the largest impact around the world, but rather those which generated a great deal of attention and discussion both on this site and elsewhere. In nearly every case, it isn't the individual article that is the "top story," but rather that the article was about some aspect of a long-running story or issue.
