NewsNow is a news aggregator that has linked to headlines by topic since 1997. The Premium subscription removes third-party display advertising and gives faster content refresh. The subscription terms mention no AI summaries and no email briefings, so it is a place to scan headlines, not a briefing writer.
The contact page names NewsNow Publishing Limited, The Stanley Building, 7 Pancras Square, London N1C 4AG, a company registered in England and Wales number 3435857, with VAT 731495236.
