Morning News Habits That Keep You Informed
Five small changes that make it easier to stay current without spending your whole morning scrolling.
Read the Post →Nova Daily Report is a short, clear rundown of the US news, business, and technology stories that matter, written by a small editorial team in Boston and posted every weekday before 7 AM ET.
Four sections, one page, no scrolling through app notifications to find them.
The day's top national stories, condensed into a few sentences each, with a link back to where the story first ran.
Read US News →Market moves, notable earnings, and the economic data that actually shows up in your budget and your paycheck.
Read Business →Product launches, security alerts, and workplace tech trends, explained without the jargon.
Read Technology →A longer feature or explainer most Saturdays, for readers who want more than a headline and a link.

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.
Every item links to the outlet that originally reported it. We summarize; we don't republish.
Short paragraphs, plain language, and a consistent order every day so you know where to look.
No push notifications, no app to manage. Read it here or in your inbox, then get on with your day.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
