Quartz unveils new website, new app

Financial news site Quartz rolled out new versions of QZ.com and its iOS app intended to better serve its readers.

CEO Zachary Seward writes, “You’ll find the biggest new feature at the center of our website and app: a continually updated briefing of the day’s most interesting and important business news, selected and summarized by our journalists around the world. As always, we’ll link to Quartz original reporting and a wide range of other sources.

“The briefing reflects Quartz’s lens on the global economy and our respect for your time. In just a few minutes, it should leave you feeling caught up, informed, and exposed to a wide range of perspectives—not just the news, but the context to understand it, as well as stories to fuel your curiosity, with avenues to explore and engage more deeply if you choose.

“That’s why the briefing features contributions from our newsroom, Quartz Pros, and Quartz members. Our members reflect many of the best qualities of Quartz—smart, curious, creative, diverse, and ambitious—and we’re excited to feature their contributions front-and-center in the briefing and throughout the rest of Quartz. Only members can leave contributions, and we review them all, featuring those that enhance our coverage with new information or insights.”
