Abridge News(圖1)-速報App

Each day, our team (of humans) picks an interesting, debate-worthy topic. Often these are political, but sometimes, we cover sports, tech, and business. Then, our team combs the internet for four unique and interesting op-ed pieces rooted in fact, albeit sometimes a subset of facts. These op-eds make arguments on different sides of a debate. We arrange these topics side-by-side in our app, and you engage with them via our "spectrum" feature.

- Swipe LEFT for more left-leaning arguments

- Swipe RIGHT for more right-leaning arguments

We sort and categorize opinion pieces based on the substance of the arguments made, NOT the publication's reputation. For example, a conservative op-ed from a traditionally liberal publication would be placed on the right side of our spectrum.

After we select an opinion and place it on the spectrum, a team member carefully reads the article and pulls out the three most salient points to form a bullet point list that is quick and easy to read.

For each topic, our team writes a set of relevant facts that aim to provide a user with a brief objective framework. These facts help our users get up-to-date before engaging with opinions.

How to Use the Abridge News app:

- Swipe back and forth to scroll between topics. Topics are arranged in chronological order (with newer topics appearing first)

- Apply a category filter to the types of topics you like best: Politics, International, Sports, Culture, Business, & Science + Health

- Search our archive to find topics related to specific terms like: Immigration, Mueller, LeBron James, etc.

- Once you find a topic you like, scroll down to read our "Quick Facts"

- Then, click into our "Opinion Spectrum" to see four arguments representing different sides of the debate. Swipe left and right to switch opinions

- Express your own view by reacting to each opinion piece. Choose from a subset of choices that includes things like: "I strongly support this," "This doesn't paint the full picture," "I agree with some, but not all." After reacting, see a summarized breakdown of other users' reactions to see if others agree with your interpretation.
