What changed for California employers

Two things this page is demonstrating
The source does the filtering. These pull from San José Spotlight’s business desk and CalChamber’s employment-law blog, so a newsroom decides what counts as business news before it reaches this page. That is safer than guessing with keywords, and it means nothing off-topic lands here unattended.
It never goes blank, and it never looks thin. The page keeps a rolling list of recent headlines. New ones move in at the top and the oldest cycle out, so the columns stay full even on a slow news week or when a source is down.
What it would take on the real site
This mockup pulls the feeds live through a free public converter, which is fine for a demo but not something to depend on. On the real WordPress site it should be a scheduled server-side job that fetches and caches the feeds itself, or an RSS plugin. Not difficult, but not a copy-and-paste embed either.
The same cached feed can also assemble a weekly email, which is what actually builds the habit. The page is the destination; the email is what reminds people it exists.
