How it is read

The newswire
Each publisher’s own feed. A story stays on the wire 30 days.
Topics
Each story is filed under one of 6 topics by keyword, from its headline and its summary — never by a model.
The chart
Apple Music’s most played songs in the US and Canada, read every two hours. A song’s move is its place against the day before. US chart, last read: .
Briefs
The morning’s brief and a story’s brief are written by a model from numbered sources, and a line whose source or figure does not stand is dropped. Subscribers read them.
