# DUDE International

> News for Akhil Suresh Nair. DUDE International is a one-page daily newspaper that publishes a fresh edition every morning at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. Each edition gathers the most useful business, technology, commerce, consumer brand, markets, Tesla, Kentucky and India news from the previous 24 hours. One reader. Zero filler.

It is curated by Akhil Suresh Nair in Louisville, Kentucky, and produced by an automated news desk that runs on Cloudflare. Stories come only from public publisher feeds and are limited to the last 24 hours. Duplicate coverage of the same event is merged and the strongest original source is kept. Stories are ranked by relevance to each desk, and a desk prints fewer stories rather than padding. Summaries are written for this paper with AI assistance from the publishers’ own headlines and descriptions, and every headline links to the original publisher. Photos are credited to their publishers; engravings and the daily cartoon are AI-drawn and show no real people. Market prices are delayed.
