The Daily Briefing is a service. It provides a morning round-up of the local newspapers plus selected quality articles from international publications.
It delivers directly to you the best writing, analysis, social commentary, critical thinking and humour from around the world, drawing on newspapers, magazines, think tanks and web sites everywhere. Whether you need information professionally or simply enjoy the intellectual stimulation, it searches for you and delivers to you. It is your guide through information overload.
The Daily Briefing is independent and non-partisan. It links you to articles from across the spectrum of ideas, politics and ideology. Its bias is towards what is relevant, useful, fresh, intelligent, challenging, timeless and well-written. It will avoid propagandists, cheap shots and statements of the obvious, and will only point to articles of that nature for the purposes of illustration.
The Daily Briefing feeds the inquiring mind. It directs you to articles across the range of human endeavour and towards writing that adds to our understanding of issues of the day and to the age old questions humanity faces. It will follow the evolution and growth of human knowledge and understanding.
The Daily Briefing corrects errors and omissions. It follows debates and will return to issues to update the latest knowledge on subjects previously linked to, and in that way aims to be a useful research tool. It is committed to free speech and diversity of opinion and links to material or view points that are otherwise censored or have limited distribution. Nothing is too sacred or too profane.
The Daily Briefing exists for its subscribers and is responsive to them and encourages them to be an active participate in its on-going development. Subscribers are encouraged to nominated ways in which this service can be improved, and send comments and feedback on individual articles or on the types of articles selected.
