Welcome to The Snippet 📰
Get the top Scottish politics stories sent straight to your inbox every week – curated by young people, for young people 🗞️🏴
Scotland’s media isn’t aimed at young people. It’s time to change the conversation.
News outlets might cover issues we’re interested in, but they’re written with a different demographic in mind. This means we rarely see stories covered from our perspective, or they might not be given the space they deserve.
With social media turning into a minefield of disinformation, it’s becoming more and more difficult for young people to find an accurate source of news - one which is free from ads, clickbait and political bias.
The Snippet hopes to change that, by offering a completely free and accessible way for you to navigate the news. All you need to do is subscribe, and you’ll get a weekly round-up sent straight to your inbox every Friday morning with the top stories of the week. No ads, no clutter.
This newsletter was created to put young people at the heart of the news agenda, making sure the most important stories are given coverage - from the latest political updates to the climate crisis and social justice issues.
We aren’t affiliated with any media organisation or political party. Instead, we’re shaped by our readers and by the latest polling data, which gives us an insight into the issues people aged 30 and under really care about.
Plus, you can help to shape the kind of stories we highlight - if you’d like to see a particular issue covered, get in touch with us.
If you like the sound of this project, please share it with others who might be interested. You can also find us on social media platforms (Twitter/X, Instagram, Bluesky and TikTok) @snippetscotland.
Thanks for checking us out - and don’t forget to subscribe.
