Why Marion News?

Imagine waking up to a single email that captures everything happening in Marion, Indiana—from Indiana Wesleyan University sports triumphs to Grant County emergency alerts and community events—without the hassle of flipping between apps or websites. In a town where local news is fragmented across newspapers, radio streams, and digital hubs, residents often feel overwhelmed trying to stay connected to what matters most: school updates, public safety, and neighborhood happenings. Briefsy changes that by delivering one tailored newsletter that feels like it's made just for you, blending Marion's unique stories with any other topics you love, all for free. Marion's media landscape is community-driven and reliable, anchored by outlets like The Chronicle-Tribune for daily local reporting and university-affiliated sites like GrantConnected.net for in-depth features. With low-power TV like WSOT-TV and radio options from WBAT providing accessible audio updates, plus aggregators like NewsBreak pulling in sports and event coverage, there's plenty of quality information out there. But it's scattered—emergency info via Nixle texts, social media from the Grant County EMA, and regional TV from Indianapolis that sometimes overlaps but misses the hyper-local pulse. Briefsy pulls it all together into one effortless read, saving you time and keeping you ahead of the curve on what’s shaping your community. Whether you're a busy parent tracking school budgets or a sports fan following the Wildcats' latest wins, Briefsy ensures you never miss out on Marion's vibrant local scene.
