(If you are already familiar with theSKIMM, you may have recognized that I totally ripped off my color scheme from them!) The Daily Skimm breaks down in easy-to-understand verbiage everything you need to know to start your day. News was a clear mutual passion of theirs and once they clicked, it did not take long for theSkimm to luanch into the ether right off their living room couch. The Skimm “makes it easier to be smarter.” It was started by two gals (girl power!) in their 20s, working at NBC in breaking news, political news, and documentaries. He selects the ten most fascinating stories and sends them to your inbox with concise, pithy observations that will “make your computer device vibrate with delight.” SUBSCRIBE HERE. Written by Dave Pell, who is himself a news junkie, Next Draft is curated by him personally from 50 different news sites he trolls. So now, permit me to share the best news newsletters.

But if I’m not careful, I’ll end up travelling down a deep, deep rabbit hole of articles and videos which, I have learned the hard way, is really not healthy. Despite it’s rumored decline and failings, I still rely on Twitter for a lot of my news updates as well as a few well-informed friends on Facebook who win me over with biting commentary. In our current political climate, I find myself in a new and precarious position - news junkie.
