Newser is an online news site based in the United States. It is the brain-child of journalist Michael Wolff, an Internet pioneer, Vanity Fair columnist, and author of the Rupert Murdoch biography, The Man Who Owns the News. Launched in October 2007, Newser is a web-native news site, seeking to speak to the new online news behavior—the need to survey multiple news brands—and to combine the machine search capabilities used in sites like Google News and Yahoo News with the newsroom oversight of traditional news organizations. Searching hundreds of news sites, Newser’s goal is to provide an efficient and entertaining one-stop shop for headlines and news summaries throughout the day. Newser has pioneered a summary form which compresses traditional, often repetitive, news exposition into a more stream-lined, compact, fact-oriented form tailored to web browsing. Newser marries these short takes to photographs and relevant videos. read more
