The weekly brief
One email a week, on the same measure the site runs on: which stories stayed alive, how many independent outlets carried each one, and how long the coverage lasted. Not a daily digest and not breaking-news alerts - there are enough of both.
What arrives
The week's stories ranked by sustained, independent coverage - wire reprints collapsed, so twenty outlets running one agency copy count once rather than twenty.
What we store
Your address and the fact that you confirmed it. No name, no tracking pixel, no profile. Every issue carries a one-click unsubscribe that needs no explanation.
