"Alexa, Play the News": Amazon Launches Fire TV News App
Amazon's (AMZN - Free Report) Alexa voice assistant has always been able to deliver the news thanks to third-party Skills, but its recently launched News app for Fire TV allows for a customizable news experience for users. You can now personalize your news from nearly 20 outlets, including Reuters, CBS, Bloomberg, Sports Illustrated, and Entertainment Weekly, among others.
