Most people my age have the same problem: they know they should follow what's going on in the world, but every time they try, it's either:

• Cable news yelling at them

• Social media feeding them rage bait

• Articles that assume you already have a poly-sci degree

So they check out. And honestly, I get it.

But here's the thing — you don't need to consume more news. You need to consume better news. A 5-minute daily breakdown that tells you what happened, why it matters, and what to watch next.
