We’ve rounded up some great finds so you can get the news-loving people on your list a gift they will actually appreciate.
14 Gifts For The News And Politics Lovers On Your List
By Tanya A. Christian · Updated November 4, 2020

In a fast-paced digital age, news comes at ya fast. This gift guide is dedicated to the ones who inexplicably manage to keep up, for the loved ones who stay on the pulse of every judicial hearing, civil rights violation, and Black Twitter moment the world throws at them. You know— the Queen Maxine-loving, Angela Davis-channeling, headline news-capturing friends who can run down the meaning of a “quid pro quo” and also give you a list of political activists from the 1960s. From the sisters who contemplate politics when Donald J. Trump’s antics are just too much, to the brothers who like to get their headlines quick, fast, and in a hurry. We’ve even thrown in some self-care offerings for the over-consumers who understand the revolutionary power of rest.
