No more scrolling through endless feeds or switching between apps to piece together what's relevant to your neighborhood. Briefsy pulls from trusted local sources like WTVR CBS 6 and Richmond Times-Dispatch to deliver the Richmond news you care about, mixed with any other topics on your mind, so you feel connected and in the know without the overwhelm. Richmond's media scene is a vibrant mix of traditional TV powerhouses, in-depth newspapers, and digital innovators that keep residents plugged into the pulse of the city.
