About Us

Fiveupdates is an online magazine for people who love a good story, the kind you end up telling someone else at dinner.

We publish human-interest stories, forgotten corners of history, remarkable places, unusual discoveries and the viral moments everyone is talking about. Every article sets out to answer the question in its headline: what really happened, why it matters, and what came next.

What we cover

• Entertainment: viral videos, celebrity stories and the moments that take over the internet, with the context behind them.
• Lifestyle: extraordinary places, lost cities and ghost towns, clever inventions, and the people behind them.
• News: real-world rescues, unexpected discoveries and cases that were finally solved.

How we work

Our stories are written and edited by the Fiveupdates Editorial Team. We work from published reports, public records, interviews given to other outlets, and original video.

We try to keep our articles short enough to read on your phone and complete enough to satisfy your curiosity. If a headline asks a question, the article answers it.

Corrections

We care about getting things right. If you spot a mistake, or you are a person featured in one of our stories and something is wrong, please email us at info@fiveupdates.com and we will look into it promptly.
