How SignalBrief Works
Facts First. You Decide.
Our editorial team curates 15 verified stories from 60+ sources across the political spectrum, delivered in 5 minutes daily. We use advanced technology to scan thousands of articles, then apply human judgment to surface the facts that matter.
The Problem We Solve
Every morning, the same stories get told 100+ different ways. Each outlet adds their spin, their angle, their agenda. By the time you've read three versions, you're not more informed—you're more confused and frustrated.
We asked: What if we could strip away everything except what actually happened?
No Spin. No Sides. No BS.
Our 3-Step Process
Collect
Every morning at 3:30 AM PT, our system scans 60+ trusted news sources across the political spectrum using advanced clustering technology.
Curate
Our editorial team sets strict guardrails—no loaded language, no speculation, no partisan framing—then uses advanced algorithms to group similar stories by topic.
Deliver
Your daily brief arrives at 6:00 AM local time with exactly 15 stories across 6 sections (BREAKING, GLOBAL, US, BUSINESS, TECH, LIFE).
Step 1: Collect (Automated Source Scanning)
Our process reads approximately 800 articles daily from 60+ sources including CNN, Fox News, Reuters, AP, Bloomberg, NPR, WSJ, BBC, and dozens more. We intentionally include sources across the political spectrum to capture all angles.
We use proprietary algorithms to identify patterns and consensus across competing narratives—surfacing where independent sources agree on the underlying facts, even when they disagree on interpretation.
Step 2: Curate (Human-Led Editorial Process)
Our editorial team has established strict guardrails for every story that makes the brief:
- Strip loaded language ("slammed," "controversial," "explosive")
- Remove speculation ("this could mean," "experts worry")
- Eliminate partisan framing (no editorializing)
- Always cite sources (2-5 original links per story)
Advanced algorithms help us scale this process by grouping similar stories by topic and identifying which stories are covered by multiple independent sources. This surfaces what the entire news ecosystem considers important.
What emerges: Who, what, when, where, and the basic why—just the facts.
Step 3: Deliver (5-Minute Daily Email)
Your brief arrives at 6:00 AM local time with the day's essential stories organized into sections like BREAKING, GLOBAL, US, BUSINESS, TECH, and LIFE. Each story includes links to 2-5 original sources so you can dive deeper on topics that matter to you.

A Real Example: Fed Rate Decision Coverage
"Republicans slam Biden's controversial Fed appointment as inflation continues to ravage American families..."
"Biden's Fed finally admits failure as disastrous policies force a desperate rate cut..."
"Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 0.25 percentage points, citing cooling inflation..."
SIGNALBRIEF PROCESS
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points on Wednesday, bringing the benchmark rate to 4.5%. This marks the third consecutive rate cut since September. Fed Chair Jerome Powell cited declining inflation (now at 2.7% from 9.1% peak) and slowing job growth as key factors.
Sources: CNN, Fox News, Reuters, WSJ, Bloomberg
Source Diversity Matters
We read sources across the entire political spectrum to capture all perspectives:
NYT
WashPost
CNN
AP
Bloomberg
BBC
Fox News
Fox Business
Newsmax
When the same facts appear in sources that normally disagree, you know you're getting closer to the truth.
Human Oversight + Technology Scale
Our editorial team defines the standards: what qualifies as fact vs. opinion, how to strip partisan language, which sources to trust. Advanced technology helps us apply these standards at scale—reading 800+ articles daily so our team can focus on quality, not quantity.
✅ Human Editors Define:
- What qualifies as fact vs. opinion
- Which sources to trust
- Editorial standards for neutrality
- Final selection of stories that matter
⚙️ Technology Scales:
- Reading 800+ articles in seconds
- Clustering similar stories by topic
- Applying editorial rules consistently
- Extracting quotes per guidelines
Our editorial team sets the rules. Technology makes it possible to apply them across 60+ sources daily.
Your Questions, Answered
Q: How is this different from other news aggregators?
Most aggregators just collect headlines. We apply rigorous editorial standards: strip loaded language, remove speculation, eliminate partisan framing, and always cite 2-5 original sources. Our editorial team sets the guardrails; technology scales the process.
Q: How do I know you're not biased?
Because we show our work. Every story links back to 2-5 original sources spanning the political spectrum. If we got it wrong, you can see exactly where and how. Our process eliminates editorial interpretation—we just report what multiple sources agree happened.
Q: What if something important isn't covered by multiple sources?
Then it doesn't make the brief. We'd rather miss a story than mislead you with single-source reporting or unverified claims. We prioritize accuracy over breaking news speed.
Q: Why pay $9/month when Morning Brew is free?
Free news = ad-supported = conflicts of interest. SignalBrief is 100% reader-funded. No ads, no sponsors, no hidden agendas. Your $9/month keeps us independent and accountable only to you.
Q: Do you ever add your own analysis?
Never. We might add neutral context (like "This is the third rate cut this year") but we never add interpretation or tell you what to think. That's your job.
The Bottom Line
We built SignalBrief because we were tired of fighting through spin to find facts. Every morning, we deliver what actually happened—covered by multiple sources, stripped of partisan framing.
Not because we say so. Because you can verify it yourself.
