How SkimNews Works — from 100+ sources to your morning brief in four steps.

1. Source selection

We track 100+ established news publications across seven beats: geopolitics, technology, finance, health, energy, sports, and culture. Sources are selected for editorial credibility, factual track record, and topical relevance. Stock-picking listicles, investment marketing dressed up as analysis, and press-release aggregators are out.

2. AI summarization

Each article is processed through a summarization pipeline that extracts key facts, identifies why the story matters, and preserves source attribution. Summaries are designed to convey the essential information in roughly 30 seconds of reading time. AI summarization is always disclosed.

3. Editorial curation

An editor — one human, not a committee — reviews the day’s output, picks what runs, sets the editorial line, and flags anything that needs a second pass. The editor also writes the “why it matters” line that anchors every card.

4. Publishing

Stories publish as they land. The morning brief distils the day’s run into a 30-second read. The Telegram channel pushes breaking news first; the RSS feed carries the full feed; the weekly digest aggregates the seven beats into one read.
