How we treat the people who write the news
Clear Briefing only works because journalists and newsletter writers do the hard part. We built it to send readers your way, not to stand in for you.
How a briefing uses your work
It sends readers to you
Every briefing credits its sources and links to each original article. The brief is a pointer: to read the full story, readers click through to you.
It combines several outlets
A briefing brings together what at least two outlets reported on the same story, in our own words and under our own headline.
Your articles stay on your site
Readers see a short brief and your link. The full article lives on your site. Source suggestions name an outlet and say why it may fit, nothing more.
We follow robots.txt
If your robots.txt asks us not to read a page, we don't, and customers can't add it as a source.
Subscriptions stay with the subscriber
A reader who pays for your publication can connect their own subscription. It is used only for their own briefings, and the link still takes them to you. This is an advanced feature with limited availability.
Talk to us
If you publish something our customers read and you have a concern, a question or an idea, email [email protected] with "Publisher" in the subject. A person reads it.
