All the News You Need
Go to Today's Headlines.
The premise: news consumption is not civic virtue, a way to stay well-informed, or a sound path to better understanding the world. The news is inherently prone to focusing on outlier events, sensational content, and outrage.
The news is in the business of selling eyeballs to advertisers, selling talking points to decision-makers, and selling the illusion of being informed to you.
It's entertainment posing as information. You don't need to follow it.
This is a tiny daily news digest for people who know that they don't need the news but are afraid of missing something truly important.
This is all the news you need.
What It Does
Each day, a prompt generates a Markdown file named:
headlines-YYYY-MM-DD.md
The file contains five headlines each from:
WSJ — for material significance: markets, law, institutions, business, geopolitics, regulation, energy, etc.
NYT — for agenda-setting influence among cultural, political, and professional elites.
NBC — for mainstream “normie” national news.
AP — for the wire-service baseline.
Selection Standard
Headlines are selected based on significance, not virality; based on whether or not the story is likely to be significant in 30 days, not how many people are sharing it on social media.
Preference is given to developments with durable consequences, including:
War and international conflict
Law, courts, and constitutional questions
Elections and governance
Regulation and public policy
Markets, trade, labor, and business
Technology and scientific developments
Public health, medical developments
Infrastructure, energy, and logistics
Major institutional changes
The digest intentionally avoids or deprioritizes:
Celebrity news
Crime-of-the-day stories
Outrage bait
Daily polling noise
Social media controversies
Partisan theater
Viral curiosities
Lifestyle filler
Format
Each daily file uses this structure:
## WSJ
1. [Headline](https://example.com/article)<br>2. [Headline](https://example.com/article)<br>3. [Headline](https://example.com/article)<br>4. [Headline](https://example.com/article)<br>5. [Headline](https://example.com/article)

## Note
Access limitations, if any, are disclosed here.
Access Limitations
Some domains, like WSJ and NYT are paywalled or blocked. They won't include direct links, but you can search for their headlines.
What This Is Not
This is not an attempt to showcase balance. This is not a substitute for being informed, which requires reading and contemplating actual books and other longform content, not the news.
This is (more than) all the news you need.
