I don’t know about you but I hate the news. The sensationalism that goes on today on the news makes me sick. I don’t mean to sound ignorant, and I do want to know what is going on in the world, BUT…
I want to read it in a neutral voice, just the facts, that’s it. I forgot how I stumbled upon theSkimm, but I am so glad that I did! theSkimm is an email subscription (free) in which you receive an email every weekday with the worlds’ happenings. The tone of theSkimm is great – the information given is relayed in layman’s terms and short and sweet. Just how I like it!
Here is who theSkimms are:
“We are two women in their 20s who hail from New York and Chicago. Our startup romance is one for the books — we met on a rainy day in Rome while we were both studying abroad in college. We bonded over a mutual love of fried artichokes. What we didn’t know as we struggled to order in Italian, was that we’d reconnect years later working in our own country’s capital. By that point, we had become professional storytellers, as producers for NBC News- working in breaking news, political news, and documentaries. We clicked as colleagues and as friends and it didn’t take long for theSkimm to take form.
In our spare time (which is rare) we can be found spooking each other with Law & Order: SVUmarathons and trying to scheme our way into a free Equinox membership.
For two girls who grew up more Morning Glory than The Social Network, it took a lot of guts, and white wine, for us to make theSkimm a reality. We see ourselves as a part of a generation where women are out-earning men in paychecks and degrees. We’ve grabbed our seats at the table, now it’s time to Skimm to the head.” – taken straight from the site www.theskimm.com
