Newsido is a British news reader. It gathers what UK news organisations, councils, police forces and government departments publish, and it tries to tell you the one thing most news leaves out: what the story actually means for you.
Most of us do not have a spare hour a day for the news. We have ten minutes, usually on a phone, usually before something else needs doing. Newsido is built for those ten minutes.
Every story on Newsido follows the same shape. What happened. What it means for you. What to watch next. And one question, put to readers, because the people living with a decision often understand it better than the people reporting it.
Newsido does not send reporters out. It reads the public feeds of organisations that do, and of organisations that publish their own news directly. That includes national broadcasters and newspapers, local news sites, more than twenty London, Essex and Kent councils, the Metropolitan Police and Essex Police, GOV.UK, the Bank of England, the Office for National Statistics and the National Cyber Security Centre.
Every story card names the outlet that published the original, and links to it. If a story matters to you, read it at the source. Newsido is a way in, not a replacement.
The headlines and the summaries on Newsido are written by artificial intelligence, working from the published article. A person sets the rules, chooses the sources and watches the output, but no journalist writes each card by hand, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
That has consequences you should know about. A summary can flatten a nuance the original reporter was careful about. A model can misread a number. This is why the source link is on every card, and why every story page carries a quiet question: was this useful? We read the answers.
Nothing on Newsido is advice. We tell you what a rate rise or a fuel price does, in general, to people in a situation like yours. What you should do about your own money, your own mortgage or your own health is between you and someone qualified to advise you.
National news is easy to find. The planning decision two streets away is not. Tell Newsido roughly where you live and it will pull in your council's own announcements, your local paper, recorded crime figures for your area from the police's open data, and a weekly round-up of what changed near you.
We only ever ask for the first half of your postcode — the part that names a district, not a street. You can also simply pick your area from a list.
Voices is the one part of Newsido that is chosen by hand: short clips from people who explain something well. Every clip plays on its own platform, in their player. Newsido never hosts the video — the creator keeps the view, the credit and the link back.
Newsido is free to read and we do not charge for an account. There are no advertising trackers on the site and we do not sell reader data. If that ever changes we will say so here, and in our Privacy Policy, before it happens rather than after.
We will get things wrong. When you spot one, tell us at [EDITORIAL EMAIL] with a link to the story, and we will correct it or take it down. A correction on a summary is cheap. Leaving a wrong one up is not.
