People can gain access to all the categories of news, whether global, sports, entertainment, breaking news, with ease. However people appear to be more drawn to shorter news articles or audio news updates to go along with their “always on the move” lifestyle. There are a lot of news apps like Inshorts, Short Breaking news, Shortpedia which summarises the news and headlines in 70- 80 words and updates you with the latest news so that you don’t have to go through the long articles.
