Spotlight was good when it concentrated less on graphics and more on simple 'crash comic' accident reports and close call 'There I was' type accounts.

I think the blow-by-blow descriptive report where we could follow the development of a bad situation while mentally picturing what we ourselves might do in the same circumstances was the true guts of the publication and what everyone read it for, rather than pages of gumph expounding the latest reworking of some risk management theory: "Mmm, Swiss cheese, bow tie ... what about a Swiss bow tie? Aha!"

That sounds like grumpy old man talk, I know, but ditching 16 pages of that stuff and replacing it with proper crash reports would get me reading it a lot quicker.
