Where the airtime went
"Runs #" is where the story sits in the two-minute brief. Brief order is an editorial judgment; airtime is a count.
Every network, one brief
Clips are drawn from the Internet Archive TV News Archive across the 36 networks it lists. Networks marked archive-only have no current recordings.
How Briefly works
1. Listen to everyone. Every day we read the closed captions of hundreds of broadcasts across the networks below, minute by minute.
2. Find what matters. A story makes the brief when many different networks are covering it at the same time, not when one outlet shouts loudest.
3. Show, don't tell. Each story is told with short clips of the anchors and reporters who covered it, drawn from outlets with different perspectives, with the network on screen.
Clips stream from the Internet Archive's TV News Archive, a research library service. Each clip links to its source. Broadcast material may be protected by copyright and remains the property of its owners.
