I don’t know how 1440 came across my radar recently, but it is a free online newsletter that claims to pitch the news without opinions. Every day, subscribers receive an email detailing the essential news of the moment. The news events are very brief, but they have one or multiple links for the person who wants more in-depth information on a particular topic.
There are no editorials, no sensational stories, and no bull. Yes, there are ads, but they are not obtrusive. Well, not particularly obtrusive.
I’ve read only a handful of issues, but so far I’d say the publication is living up to my expectations. That is, it attempts to stick to the facts. One of its taglines e is “The best, fact-driven information, expertly curated and explained for the intellectually curious.”
There are a couple curmudgeons in videos who are not crazy about 1440, partially because of the topics that are chosen. These critics would have chosen different ones. But then someone else would have complained about those choices.
If any of this seems interesting, perhaps consider visiting the website for more pithy statements about the 1440 mission as well as where the title comes from. Then decide for yourself. After all, who doesn’t want to be intellectually curious?
