Categories are assigned by keyword rule over the headline and the extract, never over full text, and an item can carry several. The terms that matched are printed under each item so the filing can be checked rather than trusted. The rule is in etl/fetch_news.py and is a blunt instrument: it will miss things and it will occasionally file something oddly.
