Newser Points

Get involved in the Newser community with Newser Points

Here’s how it works. Every time you read a story or create a thread, you earn points. These points allow you to see how the number of stories and threads you read and contribute to adds up over time and compares with other readers.

Exclusively for registered users, Newser Points is optional and rewards you with points every time you:

  • Read a story
  • Read a thread of related stories
  • Create a thread
  • Add to a thread
  • View a grid
  • View a story rollover

After activating Newser Points your screen name will appear on the Newser Points Leaders display.

It’s easy to get started when you register for free and visit your My Account page. You’ll be earning points in no time.

What is Newser?

2008 Codie Finalist

Face it: there's too much news. At Newser a team of editors and writers culls the most important stories from hundreds of U.S. and international sources and reduces them to a headline, picture, and two paragraphs. It's the Newser guarantee: we can take any report or column or video and pack what you need to know into 120 words or less. Newser's short-form aggregation, visual format, and unique information tools help you get more of the kind of news you want, in a quicker and more entertaining way. And we do it 24/7—you can come back morning, noon, night (and in between) for something new that matters. Read less, know more.
