About MinuteBrief
Who we are and why we built a newsroom for the time-starved.
MinuteBrief is an editorial newsroom built on a simple premise: the world's most important stories should not require an hour of your attention to understand. We publish concise briefs - each designed to be read in about sixty seconds - without sacrificing context, nuance, or rigor.
Our approach
Every brief follows the same structure: what happened, why it matters, and the key takeaway. We prioritize clarity over speed-for-speed's-sake, and we cite primary sources wherever possible. Our editors work across world affairs, business, technology, science, culture, and opinion.
Independence
MinuteBrief is editorially independent. We do not accept payment for coverage, and we disclose partnerships or sponsored content clearly when they appear.
