Tribune's 'Newsbeat' App Will Read the News for You

News apps for mobile have become must-haves for media companies. Newsbeat, the latest app from Tribune Digital, wants to make accessing the news on your mobile device easier than ever. It does this by reading the news for you.

I know what you’re thinking– that’s what NPR and other news radio stations are for. Well yes, but what if you wanted to skip through a particular story? That’s where the beauty of Newsbeat comes in.

This Pandora-esque app can stream roughly 7,000 stories each day, which you can customize by topic or publication.
