How Wakewire works
A morning brief that respects your sources and your morning.
- 01
You choose the topics
Pick what you care about. The brief is built from a selected catalog of public news feeds and the podcasts we follow.
- 02
It reads overnight
Articles are read and weighed. Podcast episodes we follow are transcribed so quotes can be matched to the recording. Transcripts stay private.
- 03
Quotes are checked
A quote only runs if it matches the source word for word. What a source said is reported as fact. Our read of it is labeled as analysis.
- 04
The top takes about five minutes
Start with the top stories. The rest of the brief is optional depth, and every story links back to the original publisher.
- 05
It ends
One edition a day. No endless feed. Late news rolls into tomorrow's brief.
The detail is public. See how we verify and our editorial standards.
Reading is open to everyone. A free account personalizes your brief. Wakewire is currently built around US news sources, and we expand as requests come in.
By creating an account you agree to the Terms and Privacy notice. Briefs are machine-assisted summaries of other people's reporting. General information only, not advice. Check the linked source before you act on anything.
