What’s Here

Here’s what we’ve got for you:

Big Story:

One story package every weekday. Yes, you read that right. ONE. These are our Must-Reads – five a week. (During our alpha phase, we might miss a day here and there. Please bear with us!)

Each one gives you everything you need to know to understand the big story of the day – the news in a nutshell, with context, why it’s important, and what you can do. All in a combo of text, videos, photos, tweets, infographics, memes, maps – whatever we think would help you out. It’s the big news of the day, gift-wrapped and handed to you on a silver platter.

Basically, if you have the time for just news item a day, make it this one. We make it easy and interesting to get in the know. Check in for these in the afternoon or early evening.

And if you miss today’s, not to worry. It’ll still be on the home page tomorrow.

Day in 10:

A scannable list of 10 other things that matter and that people are talking about – the tweet of the day, the quote of the day, the person of the day, the video of the day, and so on … Plus, a little useful bonus item.

You get six of these a week – every weekday and on Sundays. They usually go up in the evenings, so check back for them before you go to bed.

Coming Up:

Do you ever open Facebook or Twitter and see that today is, say, National Cupcake Day or the premiere of a movie that you thought looked good but forgot about, and wonder whether everyone but you knew this was happening today? Never feel that way again.

Our weekly calendar clues you in on important things coming up.

And you can get this stuff lots of ways:
