Reach readers who start the day informed
The Morning Brief is a free, nonpartisan daily brief: five minutes of news, delivered seven mornings a week, with a companion site that readers come back to. Sponsorships sit alongside that reading, clearly labeled, never mixed into it.
How it works
Editorial decisions are made before any placement is sold, and advertisers have no influence over story selection, framing or wording. Every paid placement is labeled on the unit: “Advertisement” for display, “In Partnership with” or “In collaboration with” for sponsored content. The same rules are published for readers on How the Brief is made.
