We built One Minute News to combat clickbait.

In today s internet, headlines have become traps. They tease. They mislead. They make you click, only to find that the story is nothing like what you expected. We built oneminutenews.org as a response to the clickbait age. Our mission is simple: Give you the news in straightforward language and rank them based on their importance. The result? Clear, honest, no-fluff headlines that tell you exactly what happened, the way real journalism used to.

Here are some examples, we turn this:

Get to know the finance world at the earliest — this just happened:

Bank of Japan just raised short-term interest rates to 0.75% from 0.5% the first hike in 30 years and a unanimous decision signaling the end of decades of near-zero rates and massive easing.

Governor Kazuo Ueda will explain the move later today. This is a landmark shift for the world s third-largest economy.

Try learning what happened around the world in 1 minute?!

If you ve ever opened 17 tabs of breaking news, felt your soul leave your body, then closed them all and whispered, I ll catch up later (knowing full well you never will)

One Minute News is the quiet morning newspaper that never existed for our generation: one calm page, no noise, no rage bait, just the handful of stories that will actually matter next week, next month, next year, distilled so clearly you can finish the whole thing while standing in line for coffee.

60 seconds summary of what happened around the world:

Before SOCIAL MEDIA...

Before social media people woke up, opened a newspaper (or turned on the evening news), and in 10 15 minutes they actually knew what mattered in the world that day.

Today? Most people under 30 get their news from 3-second TikToks, meme pages, and whatever outrage is trending on their timeline. Important stories get buried. Context disappears. Nuance dies.

The result: an entire generation that s chronically online but chronically uninformed.
