October 3, 2026 · Begins with the October 4 briefing
A sharper briefing, with more to discover.
After several weeks of side-by-side testing, we have promoted a refined story-selection process for the next briefing. It gives consequential Austin stories closer attention and keeps repeat coverage focused on meaningful new information. A hearing or deadline arriving today is not, by itself, a reason to repeat the same story.
More for You now puts greater emphasis on useful, varied picks with a clear connection to your saved interests. That can include worthwhile guides, interviews, and other lasting resources alongside timely coverage. Under the Radar keeps its own search for important information that is easy to miss; it will not be filled just to complete a section.
Your preferences still apply, Top Stories remain shared, and no action is required. Read more about how ADB selects stories.
