From Sunny Spain to Smarter News: CTOL Editors’ Summer Highlights & What’s Next

A Memorable Summer Outing with Our CTOL Editors Team

As summer gently draws to a close in Europe, our CTOL Editors Team—Ken, Anup, Yasmin, Xia, and Dafydd—spent a full week unwinding and recharging on Spain’s serene beaches. (We missed Wang Lang, who, unfortunately, couldn’t join us due to visa issues.)

This week-long retreat was more than time in the sun; it was a celebration of teamwork, creativity, and the bond we share as colleagues and friends. From brainstorming stories to racing deadlines, it’s the laughter and togetherness that fuel our passion to bring you the news that matters most.

And there’s even more good news to share! 🎉 Our team's proposal for an AI-powered news agent app has been finally approved. We’re working hard behind the scenes, and we hope to release it very soon. We can’t wait for you to experience a smarter, faster, and more personalized way to stay informed. 🚀

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you—our readers—for your continued trust and support. Every story we craft, every headline we publish, and every update we deliver is inspired by your engagement and encouragement.

As summer sunsets give way to autumn’s arrival, we’ll keep bringing you compelling stories, insightful analyses, and the latest updates from around the world.

Here’s to new beginnings, fresh perspectives, and a season filled with meaningful narratives.

With our warmest wishes, Xia, on behalf of The CTOL Editors Team
