Welcome to One Turn

One Turn puts each day's world news on a living 3D globe. Every story sits where it happened, so you can see at a glance where the world is busy, where it is calm, and how events connect.

How a day is made

Twice a day, the site reads hundreds of headlines from a broad range of outlets around the world. It groups the reports that describe the same event, places each one on the map, ranks them by importance, and writes a short, neutral summary with links back to the original reporting. Every story shows when it was first reported and when it was last updated.

What you can do

• Tap a beacon to read a story, see where it happened, and follow the links to the full reporting.
• Read the 5-minute brief for the day's most important stories in one place.
• Check the World Mood, a single score for the tone of the day's news, with the formula behind it.
• Play the Daily Orbit, five questions on the day's news, new every midnight Eastern.
• Switch views to Economy for markets and country data, or Planet for live earthquakes, storms and wildfires.
• Travel in Space: fly to the Moon, see its real phase and landing sites, or fly to the Sun and see today's real sunspots.

What you won't find

No accounts, no paywall and no ads. The summaries stick to the facts, and good news gets its own place alongside the hard news.

Thanks for reading. If you spot a mistake, the contact link at the bottom of every page comes straight to me.
