What’s New

Changes worth telling readers about.

Meaningful improvements to Austin Daily Briefing appear here. Operational changes that do not affect the reader experience stay in the technical project record instead.

September 2026

Austin Daily Briefing has a new look.

The briefing has been redesigned to make stories easier to scan and the relationship between reporting and context clearer. Why It Matters now has a consistent visual treatment, Under the Radar is easier to recognize, and Austin Ahead organizes near-term items around what to go to, watch, or plan around.

The website now follows the same visual system, with a simpler publication-style layout, clearer subscriber controls, and dedicated pages explaining how ADB works and what has changed.
