Our story
From a Brooklyn newsletter to a national magazine.
Jizan started in 2017 as a weekly email written at a kitchen table in Brooklyn: five stories, no clickbait, one honest take on each. Readers forwarded it to friends, friends became subscribers, and the newsletter grew into a newsroom.
Today our editors and correspondents work from New York, Washington, Chicago, Austin and Seattle. We still follow the rule of that first email: if a story is not worth your time, we do not publish it.

Editorial standards
What we stand for
Every story on Jizan is checked against the same four promises. They are printed on the wall of our New York office and in every writer’s contract.
01
Accuracy first
Facts are verified by a second editor before publishing. Corrections are dated and shown at the top of the story.
02
Independent voice
Advertisers never see a story before it runs. Sponsored content is always labeled as sponsored.
03
Reader trust
No dark patterns and no fake urgency. We tell you how we test products and when we earn a commission.
04
Every perspective
We hire and quote widely, across cities, ages and backgrounds, so the whole country sees itself in our pages.
