What SkimNews is
SkimNews is a news aggregation site that compresses each story into roughly a 30-second read. Instead of one outlet's take, it pulls from more than 100 sources, merges and deduplicates them, and shows you several angles on the same event. Coverage runs across geopolitics, technology, finance, health, energy, sports, and culture, so a single visit can cover a wide range. If a summary raises a question, you can ask a follow-up and get an answer drawn from the original materials. The whole thing is free and needs no registration.
What you can do with it
- Read a condensed version of a story in about 30 seconds
- See multiple outlets covering the same event side by side
- Ask follow-up questions when a summary leaves something unclear
- Subscribe to a daily email that arrives each morning
Who it is for
- Busy professionals who cannot read a full paper with coffee
- Readers who want more than one outlet's version of an event
- Anyone who would rather have a digest than a live feed
What to watch out for
A 30-second summary is not the full story. If you need quotes, numbers, or context for a decision, open the original reporting rather than relying on the digest. The source list and the fields covered can change at any time, so what you see today may differ next month. Personalized subscriptions rely on your browsing behaviour, so check the privacy terms if that matters to you. Free access is the current model, not a permanent promise. For best results, start with a small test file and review the output carefully before working on anything important.
