Why Westchester News?

Imagine waking up to a single email that captures everything happening in Westchester – from hyper-local politics in Armonk to community events in Pleasantville – without the hassle of sifting through shrinking newsrooms or scattered digital sites. Westchester's media landscape is evolving fast, with major outlets like Gannett's The Journal News and Lohud.com facing layoffs and consolidations that have cut reporter numbers dramatically, leaving gaps in watchdog journalism on taxes, education, and public safety. Residents are turning to a mix of digital platforms, community radio, and online forums to stay connected, but it's overwhelming to track it all amid national headlines. That's where Briefsy steps in, turning information overload into effortless insight. We're the only platform that blends your Westchester interests – like local business from the Westchester County Business Journal or cultural vigils covered by Examiner Media – with any other topics you love, all in one free, personalized newsletter. No more missing the stories that matter to your community while chasing generic updates elsewhere. Feel the relief of being truly in the know, with curated content that respects your busy life and delivers exactly what you need, when you need it.
