With news being made every second, it’s easy to miss out on the latest story. But getting caught up doesn’t have to be extensive. These e-newsletters break down what happened overnight and tell it to you straight, so you can join in on those water-cooler convos.
theSkimm
theSkimm gives you 4-5 news stories with the basics in a casual conversational tone. They add a little sarcasm, some punny titles, and all the angles of the story so you don’t have to go to Fox, then CNN, and all the other news sources. They also give discounts on trendy brands. Best part? It’s free.
LinkedIn Daily Rundown
LinkedIn provides you with bite-sized news and how it relates to business or the stock market. Politics, step-downs, buyouts, all in a minute.
Need 2 Know
A newsletter more straightforward and shorter than theSkimm, Need 2 Know lets you know the top 10 news stories with 4-5 sentences per item. They also have a section for social media activity (retweets, popular memes, viral videos, etc.)
Quartz Obsession
Read the news, learn about scientific breakthroughs, get the statistics on the latest argument, and sound in on a poll. The Quartz Obsession is the more alternative e-newsletter, but is just as interesting to scroll through on the morning commute.
