About News Explained USA

News Explained USA explains the day's news. We bring together the stories that matter from America's leading newsrooms, sort them into clear sections and give you the short version first, with every headline linking straight to the newsroom that reported it.

What we are

News Explained USA is an independent online news website. We bring together the day's stories from leading newsrooms, explain what happened and why it matters, and link you straight to the original reporting.

What you'll find here

Eight sections, refreshed through the day: Top Stories, Politics & Government, Business & Innovation, Science, Health & Environment, Youth & Education, Sports & Entertainment, Life & Culture and World. Each story comes with a short summary so you know what happened at a glance, and every headline opens on the newsroom that reported it.

Company news

We also carry announcements from companies, founders, authors and brands in a separate Announcements section. Each one is labelled Press Release wherever it appears, so it is never mistaken for our news coverage.
