Ask HN: Is there a website with only short summaries of the most important news?

  • Related: https://text.npr.org/ and https://lite.cnn.com/

  • lots of them

    mine is: https://snafuhall.com/

    I sit on the banks of the Ganges that is the news; and pick a few interesting chunks out to pile up.

    I try to capture a daily snapshot of the flavor of the news, not "most important".

    Defining "important" is the meta question that leads to all the other news sites existing, too.

    https://spidr.today does a interesting job of gathering and batching stories from RSS feeds, if you want a more statistical approach.

  • I like 68knews as it runs on my retro PCs. Nothing like a cup of coffee and reading modern headlines on a 486 PC to start your day. ;)

    http://68k.news/

  • https://sumi.news/ Even has an HN section

  • https://otherweb.com/

  • Minimalist news

  • Some popular websites for this purpose include:

    1. CNN's daily news show for students that provides brief summaries of global news stories.

    2. BBC's news service for children that offers short and easy-to-understand news summaries.

    3. A newsletter that provides concise summaries of important news stories.

    4. A podcast that gives brief updates on the day's top news stories.

    5. Reuters News in Pictures: A visual news service that offers short captions with images for major news events.
