SmartNews is launching a new feature called SmartTake to offer a selection of uplifting stories, editor’s picks, useful articles, and calming graphics in a single destination.
The app's top news section tends to include the most head-turning stories, like those of murders, kidnappings, plane crashes, or notable or surprising comments from public figures.
SmartNews says its team spent more than 300 hours over the past year conducting research and reviewing academic literature to understand the phenomenon of doomscrolling.
