Format

Built to Be Read in Three Minutes

Every edition opens with a one-paragraph summary of the day's biggest national story, followed by three short sections: US News, Business, and Technology. Each section holds three to five items, and every item links back to the original report so you can go deeper when a story is worth it.

  • 1

    Sourced, Not Scraped

    Every item links to the outlet that originally reported it. We summarize; we don't republish.

  • 2

    Skimmable by Design

    Short paragraphs, plain language, and a consistent order every day so you know where to look.

  • 3

    One Page, Every Weekday

    No push notifications, no app to manage. Read it here or in your inbox, then get on with your day.

Our Process

Written by Editors, Not Trending Algorithms

A story only makes it into Nova Daily Report after an editor reads the full article, not just the headline, and checks it against at least one other outlet. If two credible sources disagree on a fact, we say so rather than picking whichever version reads better.

"If two sources disagree on a fact, we say so instead of picking the version that reads better."

Reader Notes

What Readers Tell Us

A handful of notes from people who read Nova Daily Report most mornings.

I used to open three different news apps before work and still felt behind. Now I read one page in the time it takes to finish my coffee.

The business section alone is worth it. I get a clear read on markets before my first meeting without opening a single stock app.

It's the only news email I've kept for more than a year. Short enough that I actually finish it every single day.

About Us

A Small Boston Team With One Job

Nova Daily Report started in 2019 as a personal email that Patrick Doyle, a former wire editor, sent to a few dozen friends who kept asking him what actually happened in the news that day. Two former colleagues joined within the first year, word of mouth did the rest, and the daily list grew from dozens of readers to tens of thousands without a marketing budget.

The team now works out of a small office at 100 Summer St in Boston's Financial District. The morning routine hasn't changed much: editors start reading wire copy before dawn, argue about which stories matter, and post the edition by 6:45 AM ET, five days a week.

  • Founded 2019 by former newsroom staff who wanted a faster way to stay informed.
  • Based in Boston's Financial District, at 100 Summer St, Suite 1600.
  • Every edition is edited by hand before it's posted, every weekday morning.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nova Daily Report free to read?

Yes. The website edition is free, and the standard email edition is free as well. There is no paywall on the daily briefing.

How is this different from a news aggregator?

Aggregators sort headlines by algorithm. Every item in Nova Daily Report is read, checked against another source, and written up by a human editor before it's posted.

Do you cover local Boston news?

Our focus is national US news, business, and technology. We'll mention a New England story when it has broader national relevance, but we're not a substitute for a local Boston paper.

How do I stop receiving the email edition?

Every email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can also reach us directly at contact@novadailyreport.com and we'll take care of it.
