ABOUT THE PUBLICATION
A clearer view of what matters.
The Daybook connects yesterday’s economic headlines to the decisions, businesses, and everyday lives they affect.
Why The Daybook exists
Economic news can feel like a stream of numbers and headlines without enough explanation. The Daybook brings the important developments together and makes room for the questions behind them: What changed? Why did it happen? Who could feel the effects?
Our focus is the connection between the economy, financial markets, and public policy. We aim to make those connections understandable without assuming that readers already know the terminology.
Meet the founder
The Daybook was founded by Britton Henline, an economics student at the University of Maryland. His interest in economic research, financial markets, and public policy shaped the publication’s goal: helping people understand economic issues and why they matter.
Britton runs the publication and sets its editorial direction. The Daybook is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Maryland.

How the reporting is produced
The Daybook uses AI to research, draft, and automatically publish articles under a saved editorial guide. Articles include source links and distinguish factual reporting from analysis. Automated checks are not a guarantee of accuracy, and every article is not necessarily reviewed by a person before publication.
Read our AI and editorial standards for the details, including how to report an error. All articles are free to read. Optional reader accounts and email notifications are described in our privacy policy.
