When you ask Alexa to read you the news, sheβll provide a flash briefing which is a selection of short sound bites from the top news headlines that she will read along with your local weather. What if you want to hear news about a specific topic? You canβt say βAlexa, read me news about The Walking Deadβ and expect to hear news about the best TV series ever created. Instead, youβll get the same flash briefing that you get when you ask for the latest news. But if you add the new AudioBurst Newsfeed Alexa skill, youβll be able to get news about almost any topic just by saying βAlexa, ask news feed for the latest news Richard Hatchβ, and youβll be rewarded with short updates called bursts from news outlets, radio stations, and podcasts along with the time they were created. Depending on the topic you request, the selected bursts may not be totally about the desired topic, but it usually works pretty well especially if itβs a trending topic. If you want to check it out, head over to the Alexa skills page to add AudioBurstβs Newsfeed skill to your Amazon account.
