What a snippet is.

Not a headline, not an article. One story in about forty words, the line most news skips, and the name of the newsroom that reported it. Enough to know what happened, in under a minute, and one tap to check.

It moves with the day.

Eight rounds, from the overnight catch-up at 5:15 to the wind-down at 9:30 pm, and breaking stories between them. Each round re-sets the front page for the hour, so what you open at noon is not what you opened at breakfast.
