# GoodBad

> goodbad.day is an international news site with a switch: a good side and a bad side, one edition a day, and the biggest stories of the day told on both. Sport, business, technology, health, culture, science and the planet. Stories are published on a good side at https://goodbad.day/good/... and a bad side at https://goodbad.day/bad/.... Most stories run on one side only. The biggest stories of the day are written on both sides from one shared set of cited sources; both renderings state the same facts and differ in what they emphasise. Bylines are pen names; articles are written with AI and reviewed by a human editor.
