News without the noise

What is The Week?
Let's be honest, there's too much news. Buzzing your phone. Shouting for your attention. Some of it matters. But a lot of it doesn’t.
That's where The Week comes in. Our award-winning editors curate the most interesting stories from across the world's media. We do all the hard work, so you can go straight to the news that matters and stop wasting time wading through everything else.
