About Memews
Memews is a news reader for India. Every story is condensed to about sixty words — enough to know what happened and whether it matters to you, read in the time it takes to wait for a lift.
Where the stories come from
Memews does not report the news. It reads the public feeds that Indian publishers — The Hindu, India Today, and others — put out for exactly this purpose, groups the versions of a story that are really the same story, and writes a short summary of each one.
The reporting is theirs. Every card names the publisher it came from and links back to their article, and that link is the point: the summary tells you whether you want the full piece, and the full piece is on their site, where their journalism gets the visit it earned. Nothing here reproduces a publisher's article in full.
How the summaries are written
They are written by a language model, from the publisher's own headline and opening, and they are not edited by a person before they appear. That is worth knowing, because it means a summary can be wrong in ways a human editor would have caught — a mangled number, a lost qualifier, a detail that changes meaning once it is shortened.
So treat the sixty words as a signpost, not as the record. When a story matters to you, follow the link and read the publisher. If you find a summary that misrepresents its source, tell us and it will be corrected or pulled.
Who runs it
Memews is built and run by one independent developer in India, not by a news organisation. It is not affiliated with any publisher it links to, and no publisher pays for or approves its placement here.
