The Gist is a semi-weekly Australian e-newsletter. It takes the big stories and ideas, breaks them down into their bare essentials and communicates them to you with clarity and humour.

The Gist is designed for people who want to know about what’s happening in the world around them, but don’t have the time to sort through the news on a daily basis.

Get The Gist over your first coffee or on your commute, and get what you need to sound smart in front of your boss, make small talk with your barista, and impress your dinner party guests.
