How we choose the stories worth your time

Your time is the most valuable thing you give us. So before a single thread reaches your inbox, it has to earn its place.

The two-question test

Every pitch in our newsroom has to pass two simple questions: Is it true? and Will it make someone say "wait, really?". If a story can't clear both, it doesn't run — no matter how trendy the topic is.

  • We verify the surprising claim against primary sources.
  • We cut anything that needs jargon to sound impressive.
  • We ask whether you'll still find it interesting in a year.
