News Discussions

Trending topics from trusted journalism, transformed into structured debates. Unlike our community discussions, these are automatically curated from breaking news to spark timely, nuanced conversation.

How is this different from Explore?

News Discussions are automatically generated from trending stories in real-time. Explore Discussions shows community-created topics on any subject. Both use the same structured debate format, but News focuses on current affairs.
