I wish news sites had a periodical system built-in. One could choose the period, e.g. 7 days to the past, and see all important news from that time-frame. It would of course require a human to tag the news as important within a period. Subscriber only feature would suffice.

I believe those are called "weekly newspapers" :)

  It's not, 7 days to the past from current day is not last week. The period should be adjustable for example 14 days or arbitrary number.

That sounds exactly like a weekly news magazine. There are quite a few that are worth reading, if you want to follow the news. The slower publishing pace allows a greater perspective and context on most stories that is missing on 24/7 channels.

  Could you post some examples? Specifically ones that center on world news and not only the US / Europe.

    The Economist. Albeit overtly liberal (in European sense), the content is well written, well discussed and subscription policy is great.

    The Week [1] is an excellent subscription magazine that comes every Friday to my door. It's UK-centric, but has international news as one of its many sub-sections. [1] http://www.theweek.co.uk/ http://www.theweek.co.uk/

      There's actually a US edition as well, found at theweek.com.

This is more difficult than it sounds. The curation part, anyway. "Important" is a pretty subjective, and flexible, term. Something that might seem innocuous now could well have far-reaching ramifications twenty years from now.

  Agreed. I tried a 7 day most popular section on http://skimfeed.com http://skimfeed.com and I just couldn't get the algorithm personal enough to be useful. 24 hours seems to be the sweet spot for users.
