Sean Romero has found a way to make the news seem fun to those who would normally have little interest in it.

That’s the short of it.

Every morning before work, the 33-year-old lawyer gets up early to present the news. But you won't find him on a TV or in a newspaper.

You will, however, find him making Lego and delivering you The Short News with the help of a point and shoot camera and a lightbox.

Mr Romero picks out the news of the day and recreates stories with Lego, providing his audience with a different way to consume news.

His unusual, short and sweet storytelling has resonated with both kids and adults who love to get their daily dose of his creations.

Celebrating a year of Short News, Yahoo7 spoke with him to get the longer version.

"I'm coming up to the one year anniversary," he said.

"It was a happy accident, I wanted to recreate the news but for legal reasons I can't use real photos.

"I was having a laugh with my wife and thought if I can't use someone else's photos, I'll make my own using toys."



To date, Melbourne-based Romero has recreated more than 575 news stories with Lego; from Shia LaBeouf's motivational video to Australia's onezie ban.

With more than 10,000 people 'tuning in' to read the short version on his Instagram each morning, the posts focus on offbeat, strange and light-hearted human interest news.

"If I can make light of it, I will," he said.

"I don't try and pretend that I cover everything as I can't. I pick a few stories each day that interest me and I think will interest others."

But there's certain subjects he wouldn't recreate.

"While a plane crash is huge news, it would be doing a huge discredit to the story to look like I am making light of a tragic event using toys," he said.

"I just want to give people a few things to talk about each day, using something else."
