Wading through thousands of headlines, op-eds, and algorithm-driven news feeds has left intellectually curious Americans frustrated with their options. That's why we started 1440 - a fact-driven news and knowledge resource that respects your time and intelligence.Curated by humans, not algorithms.

Our Story

1440 is the knowledge company for the intellectually curious. But it began as an email we sent to 78 people.

Every morning, we'd wake up to the same broken media landscape. Filler content. Talking heads. Opinions. Infotainment. But one day, instead of repeating the cycle, we started working on a solution: a comprehensive news and knowledge source that delivers the most impactful stories of the day, distilled to deepen your understanding of the world and save you time.

We're employee-owned, not affiliated with any larger media outlet.

Our Mission

To share fact-focused information with the world.

Our Standards

To deliver facts without motives, we commit to these guiding principles every day.

1440 Standards

We prioritize people and community. Because understanding the world enables personal growth and engaged citizenship. It helps us be better to each other.

Publishing facts without motives requires honesty. From how we make money to our editorial process — if you have a question, please ask. We answer every message.

We're driven by a never-ending passion to learn. A relentless desire to understand our community. Country. World and universe. To express this, we ask questions.
1440 Editorial Standards

We don't waste your time with speculative or opinion-based stories. 1440 shares the news that has a significant impact on people, places, or communities.

We will never cover a news story about any person, political or otherwise, based on cherry-picked quotes. Or a story based on what a person is thinking.

Not a newsflash: our readers are smart. So we provide the tools and links to dig deeper. We publish the details that help connect the dots.
1440 Partner Standards

Our mission: to share fact-focused information with the world. We choose our brand partners based on mutual alignment and shared values.

Brands we place into the daily briefing must have an existing customer base with a strong reputation for consistent quality.

We rigorously score and vet potential brand partners. So you'll never see ads from political campaigns or entities, tobacco brands, or any bait & switch products.
