roundups

Collections of highlights

Roundups collect scattered things into one place.

The original sense involves gathering livestock, especially cattle, by riding around them and driving them together.

This extends to any systematic gathering of people or things: a roundup of suspects, a news roundup.

The word often appears in journalism to describe compilations of related items or summaries of events: Here's your weekly roundup of tech news.
