Free News Reader

How It Works

1. Visit any paywalled news site. Browse normally on any of 30+ major news sites with paywalls.
2. See the notification bar. When Free News Reader detects a paywall, a bar appears at the top of the page offering a free alternative.
3. Click “Read it free.” You are taken to AmericaNow.com where our AI generates a complete summary of the topic using publicly available sources.
4. Read the full summary. Get key takeaways, a detailed summary, an AI-generated illustration, and links to free sources — all in seconds.

Works on 30+ News Sites

Free News Reader automatically detects paywalls across a wide range of popular news sources:

What We Do — and Don’t Do

We do not bypass, circumvent, or access any paywalled content. Free News Reader generates original summaries based on publicly available information about the same topic. We encourage readers to support quality journalism by subscribing to their favorite publications.

Every summary is clearly labeled as AI-generated and includes a link back to the original article.

Powered by AI

Free News Reader uses Grok AI to generate accurate, concise summaries and original illustrations for every article. Summaries are created in real-time and cached for instant access on repeat visits.
