What's in it for me?

Each morning you can get a summary sent to you of what's making news to get you up-to-speed ASAP, at a time that suits you.

We can also tell you when major news breaks, so you can finally conquer your FOMO. Don't worry, this will only be for the really big stuff.

You can also receive news on topics you want to follow. This is an easy way to stay in the know on the news you care about.

We keep updating throughout the day and evening. So you can get a quick look at what's happening anytime that suits you.

You can get a sneak peek at the events we know are on the news agenda.

If you need a lighter frame of mind, you can get a hit of good news from across Australia and the world.

If you have a minute or two up your sleeve, you can get "long reads"

If you want to better understand the world around you, or see a new POV, you can get our latest "analysis" or "opinion" at any time.


Don't take our word for it, here's some feedback from our trial users.
