Built with our early readers
How the briefing is made
Our Nicosia newsroom and a network of correspondents screen hundreds of world-news clips every day, far more than anyone could watch alone.
Editors debate and rank the thirty briefings that genuinely moved the day — by consequence, not by clicks — and lock the list at local midnight.
You get six free preview picks and, with membership, the full ranked thirty plus the archive — a finite, honest read of the world you can actually finish.
Why vionews
Thirty ranked briefings a day, reset at your local midnight. No infinite scroll, no outrage loop engineered to keep you watching past your bedtime.
Editors led by Lena Hartmann watch far more world coverage than anyone should and argue about what actually moved — so the ranking reflects judgement, not engagement metrics.
Every day's list spans twenty-two countries and the stories the big feeds skip — from the vote counters of Nairobi to the empty stations of the new Silk Road.
A clear seven-day trial, transparent renewal terms, and cancellation in two clicks. No retention traps, no dark patterns, no maze to leave.
How we operate
Thirty briefings, reset at midnight — a list you can actually finish.
Six free preview picks; the full ranking and archive for members, with no hidden gates.
Real people rank the day by consequence, never by what keeps you scrolling.
When the thirty are done, you're done — by design, not by accident.

From the editor's desk
“I started vionews because I was tired of finishing a news app feeling busier but no better informed. The feed never ends, so it never lets you finish — and the urgent always drowns the important. Our newsroom does something almost old-fashioned: every day we watch far more world coverage than anyone should, argue about what actually moved, and rank thirty briefings worth your evening. Once, at local midnight, the list resets. There is no infinite scroll, no outrage loop, no algorithm guessing what keeps you twitchy. Just a finite, honest read of the day from twenty-two countries. Spend less time deciding what to watch, and more time understanding the world you live in.”
