The Watches · free daily briefs

The Watches.

Every morning, each Watch reads one beat's public record (regulators, courts, ministries, parliament) and files a clustered brief with every source named. You decide what's a story.

How a Watch works

From the record to your brief, every morning.

  1. 1

    Reads the record

    Each morning the Watch reads its beat's primary sources. Filings, orders, gazettes, bills and consultations, straight from the bodies that publish them.

  2. 2

    Connects the threads

    It clusters the day's documents and connects each one to earlier filings on the same matter, so you see the story building.

  3. 3

    Files the brief

    A clustered brief with every source linked. It never writes the story. The reporting is yours.

One registration. Up to five beats. Free for working journalists.
