The Bagel Is Now Sunrise Stat!

Exciting news! The Bagel has rebranded and is now Sunrise Stat.

In a world of infinite information, true understanding shouldn’t feel so elusive. Endless feeds, countless creators, and a media ecosystem dominated by clickbait and confusion makes searching for discovery feel more like drowning in deficiency.

That’s why we’re rebranding The Bagel and launching Sunrise Stat.

Each morning, Sunrise Stat delivers one carefully chosen statistic that opens a doorway to true understanding about things that matter. Then, we give you the context and nuance necessary to transform the statistic into a meaningful, memorable insight.

• No shallow “fun facts” or bloated emails, just pure discovery in under 2 minutes.

Head to our website to learn why readers already love Sunrise Stat.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Sunrise Stat is based on The Bagel’s most popular section: Oven-Fresh Stats

• The newsletter is essentially a single Oven-Fresh Stat that’s been expanded upon, delivering not only a stat that “tells a story simply by being stated,” but also the context and nuance necessary to transform the statistic into a lasting insight.

Reading the newsletter really does take less than 2 minutes!

• Along with the statistic, you’ll get three sections:

  • What to know

  • Why it matters

  • Connect the dots

• Each section is no more than two sentences. The entire newsletter is around four to six sentences.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Sunrise Stat will be sent from two domains over the 4-8 weeks after the rebrand:

• [email protected]; and

• [email protected]

You might get emails from both addresses or only one. This an automated process by Beehiiv to optimize the Sunrise Stat domain.

A Thank You to The Bagel Readers:

I want to thank you all for reading The Bagel!

I started in 2021, took a few breaks, made some crucial mistakes, and now I believe it’s reached the end of its road.

The Bagel started as a source of “the day’s news, the fun way,” and eventually evolved to cover the most important new research and scientific findings. You can expect both to be featured heavily in Sunrise Stat!

I don’t want to get poetic or self-important, so I’ll just say that I appreciate you all reading!

It always made me genuinely excited whenever someone would tell me they shared a fact they found in The Bagel with another person or used something in the newsletter to win an argument.

I hope The Bagel exposed you to new things, helped you laugh at what we could, and reinforced the importance of our scientists, researchers, academics, and true experts.

In a time when expertise is increasingly under attack and misinformation spreads rapidly and freely, I hope The Bagel stood against that in some small way.

Thanks again and I hope you all stick around for Sunrise Stat! I think you’ll dig it.

Best,

Ryan
