About

Ten stories. Ten sources. Ten citations. Zero noise.

Plaintext Today publishes 10 stories each day at midnight GMT, a curated mix of global affairs, science, technology, health, and human achievement. Each story is a 1–2 line factual summary with a citation linking to the original source.

No sensationalism. No partisanship. No hyperbole. No advertising. No opinion pieces. No clickbait. Just what happened, stated plainly.

Stories are sourced exclusively from wire services and publicly-funded outlets that maintain editorial standards focused on factual reporting rather than commentary.
