Ask HN: Keeping up with news with minimal effort
3 comments
Check out the Yahoo! New Digest mobile app. It's a small curated list of national and global news with updates at 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, daily. It's a quick and easy way to stay informed.
Not availible on Android :(
Found an interesting tech-independent alternative though: http://www.theskimm.com/

Quartz Daily Briefing is a news email, that gets sent out at about 6:30am eastern. I find it's a good way to grab most of my daily headlines as I start my day.
The Brief by Time is also a very useful news email. You'll have to create an account on their website to get it.
Looks great, will try out, thank you.
Any clue on how do I choose the 'edition' in subscribing? Living in Europe, I would prefer American edition, but cannot find such an option.
If it's important enough to be a world event, you'll know about it if you follow even a small number of sources.
Could you share the news digesting services availible in the web?
Reason of asking:
Over last year I completely stopped reading general news.
Some of pros of not reading news I observed: more time, peaceful mindset, quicker personal growth.
Though, there is a significant issue I am facing, I am sometimes completely unaware of a must-know historical events, like the current Ukraine-Russia conflict, etc.
