What Makes a Deep Dive? ​

Our deep dives go beyond the hot take cycle. Each piece includes:

  • Original data analysis — not just citing someone else's work
  • Historical context — how has this question been studied before?
  • Clear visualizations — charts and tables that actually explain things
  • A definitive take — we don't "both sides" questions that have clear answers
