Our coverage is 'demure,' mindful of your time. How to follow our 2024 election coverage
Long gone are the days of human-curated, chronologically organized social media feeds. If you scroll through Facebook, Instagram or TikTok right now, the calculated, albeit ultra-refined algorithm will feed you an endless array of content curated to your interests — often from accounts you don't even follow.
Don't get me wrong, nothing beats scrolling through my TikTok feed — it's so thoughtfully curated to my incredibly niche interests. But between Gap's "Get Loose" campaign videos and Chappell Roan fan edits, my For You Page is not proving itself to be a reliable source for local news, especially during an election year .
That's why every day we (humans at The Oklahoman) curate The Daily Briefing, so you don't have to scroll for hours on end to get the latest developments on what's going on in your backyard. Instead, you get the day's news sent to your inbox because we're very demure and mindful of your time.
Sure, The Oklahoman can't provide the seemingly infinite stream of viral Moo Deng or pointing orangutan content. Still, rest assured our reporters are not writing stories to sustain an engagement-driven algorithm but rather to inform Oklahomans on events that impact them directly — like how for the first time in over a decade, Oklahoma voters will have the opportunity to dramatically change the makeup of the state Senate , or why Oklahoma recently purged over 453,000 voter registrations .
Election news aside, you don't have to be a die-hard newspaperman to know about OU football coach Brent Venables' decision to switch the starting quarterback for the Auburn game on Saturday, or which Tulsa restaurant made the New York Times' list of 50 best dining places in America . When you sign up for The Daily Briefing newsletter and news alerts, these stories are sent to your fingertips every morning, no doomscrolling necessary.
Whether it's the daily forecast, election coverage , new restaurant openings (or closings) in Oklahoma City, or the latest developments in college football , The Daily Briefing wraps up all our best stories in one neatly packaged email.
Don't let the day-to-day grind, nor your endless ultra-personalized social media feeds, keep you from the news you need to start your day and make informed decisions. .
