Welcome to a modern newspaper.

OneRead News

Happy stories in every brief, not just what went wrong. Mostly dystopian news, because hate sells better than love.
No ads, no feed, no algorithm. Algorithms tracking you, to keep you there longer and show you more ads.
No echo chamber. Everyone gets the same 10 most important stories every morning. An echo chamber, because rage-baiting you makes you worth more to advertisers.

This is what people say about the news.

So this is what we built instead.

Happy news, every morning.

Everyone gets the same brief. This is a modern newspaper.

Every figure is from the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2025, page 27: the reasons given by the 68,542 people across 48 markets who say they avoid the news. Each one links to that page.

Every story in the brief looks like this.

Free news is paid for by advertisers. This is paid for by readers. One month’s subscription is less than the cost of a cup of coffee: £4.39 a month, no ads, and nobody paying to appear in your brief.
