The Featured-story card's right edge wasn't lining up with any of the
ad banners below or beside it on the homepage. Two root causes:
1. Pages I redesigned (/about, /about/contact, /about/team,
/about/advertise, /show-coverage/[slug]) used `max-w-6xl px-6`
(1152px / 24px-pad). Every other page uses `max-w-container
px-4` (1200px / 16px-pad). Pages didn't line up with the
header leaderboard or with each other.
2. ArticleFeed used a flexible 12-col grid where lg:col-span-4
ends up ~280px wide (depending on container) — so the 300x250
image inside the sidebar didn't extend to the column's right
edge, leaving a visual gap relative to the full-width Featured
card above.
Fix:
- All redesigned pages now use `max-w-container mx-auto px-4`.
- ArticleFeed switches to `lg:grid-cols-[1fr,300px]` so the sidebar
column is *exactly* 300px wide. The 300x250 ads fill that column
flush, so their right edge meets the container's right padding
edge — same x-position as the Featured card's right edge above.
Also linkified the "Relevant Media Properties" copyright string in
Footer.tsx → opens https://www.relevantmediaproperties.com/ in a new
tab.

Switch the bare single-column layouts on these pages to a two-column
grid that pulls in <SidebarAdStack /> on the right (pinned 300x600 +
every 300x250 rotated). Header keeps the leaderboard above. The
in-content 728x90 banners added earlier are removed since the sidebar
now carries the ad load (avoids stacking two of the same unit on the
page).
Pages updated:
- /show-coverage/[slug] event detail
- /about
- /about/contact
- /about/team
- /about/advertise (also gets a real-banner grid in "Available units":
the actual 728x90, 300x600, and 300x250 sample creatives are
rendered next to each unit's description, so advertisers see what
the inventory looks like in production rather than just a label).
The /about pages also got a small refresh: serif H1 + accent-blue
"Broadcast Beat" eyebrow line + bordered content blocks, bringing the
look closer to the cinematic homepage.

/about/contact and /about/advertise were rendering bare <main> tags
with no site chrome at all — no header, no footer, no banners. Both
are now wrapped with the standard
<div className="min-h-screen bg-background"><Header />…<Footer /></div>
shell that the rest of the site uses, which auto-brings the site-wide
728x90 leaderboard with it.
/about/team already had Header+Footer but no in-content banner.
In addition to the header leaderboard, each of the three pages now
also renders one in-content 728x90 banner (gated on
ADS_728X90.length > 0, hidden on mobile to match the header banner's
display rules). This brings the about/* pages in line with the ad
inventory of /show-coverage and the other category landing pages.

Replace the four accent-family hex codes site-wide with the teal palette
(keeps the dark theme; only swaps the accent family, not the dark base):
#3b82f6 (accent primary CTA) → #5B7C8D (teal) [839×]
#2563eb (accent-dark / hover) → #4A6473 (darker teal) [44×]
#60a5fa (info link, lighter) → #8FB0C3 (mid teal) [68×]
#1e3a5f (accent-muted bg) → #2F4F5F (navy) [44×]
tailwind.config.js tokens updated to match (accent/accent-dark/accent-muted).
Sweep also covers tailwind.css. 108 files touched. The dark base (#0d0d0d,
#111, #161616, #1a1a1a etc.) is intentionally untouched.

- Header.tsx: bare linkedin/instagram/facebook URLs → /broadcastbeat handles; remove TwitterXIcon from social bar + import (Footer retains TwitterXIcon per "DO NOT OVERRIDE" marker)
- AboutDropdown.tsx: drop "Press kit" item (the page itself stays at /about/press-kit, just delisted from menu)
- SystemStatusBar.tsx: remove "Index online" pulse-dot and "N wire sources" span (keep articles count + events count + build version)
- /about, /about/team, /about/press-kit: wrap in Header+Footer (previously rendered bare <main>)
- /newsletter/page.tsx (new): redirect to /newsletter/archive — Header was 404'ing on /newsletter
- /rss/route.ts (new): dynamic RSS feed reading from legacy-source news section; replaces 404 at /rss
