The American Brief Newsroom is the reporting team of The American Brief, an independent American news publication. Our stories are researched, written and edited by the newsroom as a team, and published under this shared byline when a story draws on multiple reporters, wire reporting and editorial review — a common practice for developing and aggregated coverage.
Every story begins with sources. We prefer primary documents, official statements and credible reporting; we attribute claims to the outlets and officials that made them; and we say plainly what we have not been able to confirm. Where a story rests on another publisher's reporting, that publisher is named in the story's source line.
National news, politics and public affairs, business and the economy, technology and science, health and education, the environment and public safety, and state and local stories with meaning beyond their borders.
If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. See our Corrections Policy for how corrections are requested and published, and our Editorial Guidelines for the standards every story must meet.
