Read sourced material first. Judge after.
Each day the reading edition picks the items worth your time from public sources: changes to AI companies, products and industries — every story carrying its source, publication time and the key numbers. Cards for scanning, full stories for depth.
- A daily editionThe day's items grouped by date; news cards tell you what happened at a glance — a restrained list, never padded for volume.
- Original sourcesEvery story names its source and publication time; key numbers are checked against the original, not paraphrased without attribution.
- Scan, then read deepNews cards carry the overview; stories worth depth are written up as short essays. Two layers, two jobs.
- Light markersOnly three markers — [background], [open question], [editor's note] — keeping facts, doubts and editorial judgment apart.
- Hand-off to researchAny story can be taken into research to keep asking: check the numbers, compare definitions, look for counterevidence.
- Bilingual editionsChinese and English editions are written and fact-checked independently — not machine translation.

Three markers, known before you read
Light markers come in exactly three kinds — facts, doubts and editorial judgment never mix.
- [background]Context: why this matters and what came before.
- [open question]A claim we could not verify, with the doubt spelled out — your call.
- [editor's note]The desk's judgment and reminders, kept apart from the facts.
