lots of them

mine is: https://snafuhall.com/

I sit on the banks of the Ganges that is the news; and pick a few interesting chunks out to pile up.

I try to capture a daily snapshot of the flavor of the news, not "most important".

Defining "important" is the meta question that leads to all the other news sites existing, too.

https://spidr.today does a interesting job of gathering and batching stories from RSS feeds, if you want a more statistical approach.

I like 68knews as it runs on my retro PCs. Nothing like a cup of coffee and reading modern headlines on a 486 PC to start your day. ;)

https://sumi.news/ Even has an HN section

No ads… no subscription… how? I’m not complaining but this doesn’t seem sustainable.

Also the ‘about us’ page 404s

Minimalist news

Some popular websites for this purpose include:

1. CNN's daily news show for students that provides brief summaries of global news stories.

2. BBC's news service for children that offers short and easy-to-understand news summaries.

3. A newsletter that provides concise summaries of important news stories.

4. A podcast that gives brief updates on the day's top news stories.

5. Reuters News in Pictures: A visual news service that offers short captions with images for major news events.
