If I don't check the news for awhile sometimes I miss important news and when I want to catch up on it, all of the articles are not only overwhelming- but they only cover small aspects of the story...
This happened with the George Zimmerman case and now with Syria- I feel so behind and it's hard to find good articles to start with!!

Usually if it's something major like Syria or the Zimmerman case, a lot of news sites will have links to previous stories about the issue, so I just click on that and start reading from the beginning. I know the NYTimes and BBC (I like the BBC for international news) have good "recaps" or bundles of topics.

@scg00387: I was going to suggest that link! Helped me catch up. I blame the baby for being out if the loop but that's really just an excuse.
