About

News Bolt is an old school way of reading the internet. We present you with a list of articles, using a series of outbound links—and that’s it. 

Twitter and Facebook smother stories and boost divisive, right-wing narratives for clicks. Reddit overloads you with information. And it seems like every other site with a newsfeed quickly becomes so cluttered and clogged that it’s impossible to navigate. 

At News Bolt, we’re cutting through that noise by giving readers a bare bones, 00s-style blogroll of links. We provide three reading lists a day—Morning Commute, Midday Magazine and Evening Drive—that bring you the best in news, opinion, and commentary all day every day.

We take a progressive approach to curating the news. You’ll find articles from mainstream sources like the New York Times and the Washington Post complemented by analysis from independent outlets like the American Prospect and The Intercept; podcasts from the dirtbag left to progressive policy wonks; and clips from the best progressive videos. 

Our promise to you:

  • We will never sell your data
  • The site will always be free
