Why Bexar News?

Imagine waking up to a single email that captures everything happening in Bexar County – from neighborhood developments in San Antonio to the latest on education and housing – without sifting through a dozen websites or apps. Bexar County, at the heart of the San Antonio metro area with 2.76 million residents, has a vibrant but uneven media landscape. With just 39 local outlets producing original reporting for the region, coverage often falls short on hyperlocal stories that matter most to busy families and professionals, leaving many feeling disconnected from the issues shaping their daily lives. Residents here rely on a mix of trusted sources like the San Antonio Express-News for investigative deep dives, KSAT-12 for breaking TV coverage, and Texas Public Radio for thoughtful audio stories. Yet, a recent study of 649 locals revealed widespread frustration: half say the news lacks depth on key topics like climate change, development, and community events, especially for the 64% Hispanic and Latino population craving better representation. Digital platforms and Facebook groups fill some gaps, but rural Bexar areas still feel overlooked amid the metro's 19% population boom. That's where Briefsy steps in – turning information overload into effortless insight. Our free platform curates Bexar-specific news from these outlets, blending it with your personal interests like tech, sports, or finance, so you feel truly connected to your community without the hassle.
