About Us

The Knowledge is a daily email from Jon Connell, founder of The Week. Every day, we scour hundreds of newspapers, magazines and other media outlets, and pick out only the very best bits: surprising views, viral videos, quirky facts and always a pithy quote at the end. It’s not just a list of links; we boil down each piece into an easy-to-read story, so the whole email takes just five minutes to read. And unlike so much of today’s gloomy media, we make a point of injecting everything with wit and humour. It’s a winning formula: just a couple of years in, we have more than 140,000 happy readers.
