Needed: News Tumblr

Will somone either point me to or make a tumblr that just posts little news bits throughout the day? No more than 10 a day, either. I just want the big stories and I want them in 200 words or less with a link to the source.

What if CNN lost 99% of its employees? I would turn it into a web site with 10 crucial articles each day, and no more. Many people would probably read each one - I would, instead of wading through the CNN.com sea of crap. 

40-50 minutes of my day are spent reading these news sources below. Some days I’m reading only one, say the NY Times or the Economist. 10-12 articles a day is all I can read, but the ability to choose those articles from a variety of sources… well, I shouldn’t even have to explain that. As for a Tumblr newspaper, we already get our news from a second or third-hand sources; no need to add another middleman into the equation. Nothing below is the website of a television network.

NYT

Guardian UK

Globe&Mail

Economist

Human Rights Watch.

Times of India

Times of London

Le Monde is in French.

 Mail & Guardian (J-burg)

 US Dept of State.

 ESPN. They may be a TV station.
