What is The Skimm?
The Skimm is a daily online news subscription that is sent to your email completely free of charge. Each Skimm that is sent out begins with a quote of the day and includes a summary of all the popular and significant news stories that are happening in the United States as well as the world. Considering the Skimms are written with a conversational tone, it is very easy to understand and to breeze through the email since the most important facts are the ones included in each story synopsis. At the end of each Skimm there is a "Skimm Reads" section which includes a new book deemed worth reading and a short summary of the book. At the bottom of each email there is a link to share that days Skimm on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest.
Why The Skimm is great for college students!
Most college students are busy and don’t have a lot of extra time on their hands, don’t have the largest bank account and somehow they always have their phone on them. With The Skimm covering most major news events and stories, yet taking less than ten minutes to read I would say The Skimm gets the job done quickly and efficiently. If a student wants to be in the know of what is happening in the United States and the world, but doesn’t have two hours to sit down and watch the news while waiting through commercials, then The Skimm is the perfect thing for that student. As for not having a large bank account, The Skimm is completely free and doesn’t send you spam or advertisements either; they just send the awesome snippets of the daily news! With technology being so prevalent with this generation, most college students will have their phone with them at all times, which is great for checking your email on the go and reading The Skimm. Reading The Skimm is perfect while waiting in a line or waiting for a class to start.
