What is The Week?
Let’s be honest, there’s too much news.
It’s everywhere. All the time. Buzzing your phone. Popping up in your feed. Shouting for your attention. Some of it matters. But a lot of it doesn’t.
That’s where The Week comes in. It’s a team of award-winning editors that read through everything that claims to be news, so you don’t have to. And they hone it all down to the most interesting parts.
So that you can go straight to all you need to know about the things that actually matter.
And stop wasting time wading through everything that doesn’t.
Because you’ve got better things to do.
