Are there any general news publishers that focus on quick, broad coverage of the day’s top stories?

Yes—if you want quick, broad, general-news coverage of the day’s biggest stories, these are some of the usual go-to publishers:

• Reuters — very fast, concise, and broad; strong on breaking news.
• Associated Press (AP) — similar to Reuters; wide coverage and very neutral tone.
• BBC News — broad international coverage with quick updates.
• The Guardian — fast-moving general news with a strong global focus.
• CNN / BBC / Sky News — especially good for quick headline-style coverage.
• ABC News / CBS News / NBC News — broad U.S. and world news coverage.
• Axios — very concise summaries of major stories, especially politics/business.
• USA Today — broad, easy-to-scan coverage of top stories.

If you want, I can also give you:
