About tl;dr daily news
We read the day's news across many outlets and turn each story into a short briefing with the background, the key facts, where coverage differs, and what to watch next.
What we do
Most news stories are covered by a dozen outlets, each with a different angle and a different set of facts. Reading them all takes hours. tl;dr daily news does that reading for you: for every story we publish, we gather several reports on the same event, pull in our own earlier coverage for context, and write one structured briefing that explains what happened and why it matters.
Every briefing links to the outlets it drew on. We are not a substitute for those newsrooms, and we say so on every page. If a story interests you, the original reporting is one click away.
Who we are
tl;dr daily news is an independent publication run by a small team of editors and engineers. Briefings are published under the tl;dr Editorial Team byline. Editors select which stories run, write the daily briefing and editor's notes, review the generated text, and are responsible for corrections.
We are not affiliated with any of the outlets we cite, any political organization, or any of the companies we cover. The site is funded by advertising and by readers who choose to support it.
How briefings are made
- Selection. Stories are drawn from major news wires and outlets across world, U.S., business, technology, science, health, sports, and entertainment coverage. Editors can add or remove stories at any time.
- Reading. For each story we read the primary report and up to three other outlets covering the same event, plus related articles from our own archive.
- Writing. We use AI tools to draft a structured briefing from those sources: a short summary, key points, background, how outlets differ, why it matters, and what to watch. The draft must attribute single-source facts to the outlet that reported them and may not copy sentences from any source.
- Review. Editors review briefings, add editor's notes where context is needed, and remove anything that does not meet our standards. Briefings that are too thin are kept out of search engines entirely.
- Corrections. Readers can report an error from any page. See our corrections policy.
The full detail is in our editorial policy, including how we use AI and what it is not allowed to do.
The daily briefing
Each day an editor writes the Daily Briefing: a short, human-written walk through the stories that matter most and how they connect, with links to the full coverage.
