Why Charleston News?

Imagine waking up to a single email that captures everything happening in the Holy City – from breaking news on public safety and education to vibrant community events and cultural festivals – without the hassle of flipping between apps or websites. Charleston's media landscape is rich and diverse, blending historic newspapers like The Post and Courier, the South's oldest daily, with dynamic TV stations such as WCBD News 2 and ABC News 4, and digital hubs like HereCharleston.com and CHStoday. These outlets deliver hyper-local coverage on everything from flood advisories and school district updates to fall festivals in Marion Square, helping residents stay connected to the Lowcountry's unique blend of history and modernity. But here's the reality for busy Charlestonians: juggling multiple sources means missing out on stories that matter, like the latest measles cases or high school sports highlights, amid a flood of irrelevant national noise. Briefsy changes that by aggregating trusted local feeds – including RSS from top outlets like FOX 24 WTAT and Charleston Magazine – into one tailored newsletter. You'll feel more in the loop, more empowered, and less overwhelmed, all while mixing in your other passions like national politics or tech trends. Residents rely on social media amplification (with WCBD boasting 317K Facebook followers) and interactive features like event calendars to stay engaged, but it's fragmented. Briefsy unifies it all, free forever, so you experience the pulse of Charleston on your terms – delivered exactly when and how you want.
