About The Curated Weekly
An independent newspaper for health, technology, money, and contemporary life — reported by named human journalists.
Our mission
The Curated Weekly was founded in 2024 by a small team of working journalists who had spent years writing for larger publications and watching the consumer-information beat slowly degrade into affiliate marketing. We believed that readers deserved a publication that picked up the long-discarded conventions of the consumer-news beat — independent reporting, named bylines, transparent methodology, plain disclosure — and applied them to the products, tools, and decisions that shape contemporary life.
We are a weekly publication. We publish features, reviews, and explainers across six standing sections: Health, Tech, Money, Living, Recipes, and Opinion.
How we work
Every article on this site is reported and written by a named member of our editorial staff. We do not publish anonymous bylines, ghostwritten pieces, AI-generated drafts, or syndicated content. When two journalists collaborate on a feature, both names appear on the byline.
Our reviews are based on long-term hands-on testing. For consumer products we use, where possible, the same units a reader would buy at retail — purchased with the publication's own funds. For software and services, we use the publicly available tiers, paid for at standard published rates.
What we don't do
The Curated Weekly accepts no advertising, no sponsorships, no affiliate compensation, and no review-unit donations from any product or company we cover. We do not publish "sponsored content," "partnered posts," or advertorial-style features dressed up as journalism. Our editorial decisions are made independent of any commercial relationship.
