Now this News: another great and original contribution to news

I love watching well-made video stories made by The New York Times and The Boston Globe, but sometimes I just wish there were short video clips that updated me about current events. Enter Now this News: my recent obsession.

Now this News is a website that offers short (often between one and two minutes) videos reporting news ranging from politics, world affairs, science, and popular trends on the internet. The journalists who report are fun to listen to and watch, and there is new content all the time. Aside from news reports, there are also videos that re straight up video footage of current events. For example, Now this News is currently featuring footage of the Kenyan mall siege. 

Now this News is great because its easy to use and its content can be shared easily. The videos won't take up much of your time but they are very informative and fun to watch; it's easy to get lost while exploring its content.

But what exactly makes Now this News unique? It's really that it fully embraced the digital age and is one of the few news outlets that reports purely through multimedia. It's casual, fun, and most importantly relevant. In a time when everyone is panicking about news, its comforting to see a news outlet that has so much fun with what it does.
