Writers
Eight writers who read the research first
Every topic has one writer who knows it well. They check every number, call the people involved and cut anything that doesn’t help you understand.
How we write
Four rules every story follows
They sound simple. Keeping to them every weekday is the hard part, and the reason people trust what they read here.
01
We read the whole study
Not the press release. If a claim can’t be traced to its source, it doesn’t go in.
02
One story, one point
Every piece answers one question clearly. If it needs three, it becomes a series.
03
Plain words, real numbers
No jargon, no mystery charts. If a chart needs a legend to understand, we redraw it.
04
Corrections in public
When we get something wrong, we fix it at the top of the story and say what changed.
Write for Wexly
Have a story only you can tell well?
We commission around ten outside pieces a year. Send a short pitch: the question, why you, and one surprising fact you already know.
The Sunday email
The week’s best stories, every Sunday at seven
Three stories, one short note from the editors, and nothing else. 41,200 people read it with their first coffee.
One email a week. Leave with one click. We never share your address.
