About The Actual News
The Actual News summarizes news stories into fact based summaries. We aggregate from multiple sources and present the key facts in a clear, concise format. We are not a news source, we are a news aggregator. We are not affiliated with any news organization. Our goal is to provide the news in a way it can be digested easily, quickly, and from a neutral frame.
Why The Actual News
Most of us read the news to stay informed. It works.
Over time, though, there’s a cost: spin, outrage, and bias can pull attention, raise stress, and make staying informed feel exhausting.
The Actual News was created to solve that trade‑off: stay up to date without the junk.
- Facts-first summaries stripped of spin and opinion
- Concise breakdowns you can scan in seconds
- Links to original sources when you want to dive deeper
It’s news without the noise — so you can protect your attention and still know what’s happening.
To keep it available to everyone, the free version includes light ads — we don’t love ads; they simply let us offer it for free. If you can afford $3.99/month, becoming a subscriber removes ads and supports the project — which is how we’d prefer it for our community. Running it isn’t free; subscriptions help cover our costs.
