Editorial Standards

Our readers trust us to explain things accurately and clearly. These are the standards we follow to earn that trust.

How we choose our stories

We look for questions and facts that make people say "I never knew that": about animals, nature, everyday history and the science in our homes. Our stories are evergreen. They're written to stay useful long after they're published.

How we research and write

• We base our stories on reliable sources, such as scientific research, universities, government agencies, museums and established reference works.
• We check names, dates, places and figures before we publish.
• We write every story in our own words. We don't copy other publishers' articles.
• When scientists disagree, or an idea is still a theory, we say so clearly rather than presenting it as fact.
• We avoid exaggeration. If a figure is an estimate, we say it's an estimate.

Safety and health topics

Some stories include safety tips, such as what to do in a storm, or general food and household advice. We take this information from trusted official sources and keep it general. It is not a substitute for official alerts, medical advice or professional help.

Headlines

Our headlines aim to make you curious, but they should always match the story. We don't use fake urgency, and we don't promise something the story doesn't deliver.

Images

The images on Curious Daily are AI-generated illustrations. We label them on every story, and we make sure they don't give a false impression of real events. For historical topics, we use a clearly illustrated style rather than images that look like real old photographs.

Our use of AI

We use digital tools, including AI, to help with research, organizing information, early drafts and illustrations. AI never has the final word. A member of our team checks the facts, edits the story and approves it before it's published. We don't use AI to invent facts, quotes, people or events.

Corrections

We work hard to get things right, but sometimes we make mistakes. When we do, we fix them quickly.

• Small errors, such as a typo, are corrected straight away.
• If we correct an important fact, we add a note to the story explaining what changed and when.
• If something turns out to be untrue, we remove or update it and explain why.

If you think we've got something wrong, please email hello@curiousdailyfacts.com with a link to the story and what needs fixing.

Advertising and independence

Curious Daily is free to read, and advertising pays for our work. Ads are always labeled as advertising. Advertisers have no say in which stories we publish or what we write.

On some stories, you may be asked to watch a short ad to unlock the remaining chapters. This is how we keep the site free without charging for a subscription. We never disguise ads as stories.
