news digest

Condensed current events

A news digest is a condensed summary of current events, collecting the main stories from a given period into a brief, easily scanned format.

Digests strip away detail to give readers the essential points quickly: I skim the morning news digest before my commute.

The term appears in publication names and newsletter formats.
