Initially I tried to get the users to summarize articles, users can actually send their own summaries on every article already (when you click on +more on the card). It would start with a robot summary and people would correct it or extend important points to it. But that only works if I have users :) And then a weekly summary would be easy to achieve.

I like the idea of user curated summaries much more, the scrolling is a bit distracting. Short news articles are surely attractive, if they are summarized by the community and the community checks if the summary is unbiased I might use that.
Bias and long articles are the reason I added the summaries, I think if a summary extracts the most important points the bias and the fluff around it could get removed. Maybe this solves the bias problem.
