Sections

5 desks. 450 stories. One 6 AM brief.

Every story on the wire files through one of these desks. Here's what each one owns, how much it has filed and where to read today's edition.

The desks

What each desk covers — and what it filed last.

Every desk files into the same 06:00 envelope. The headlines below are live links into the tape — that's where the rest of the reporting lives.

How it lands

Every desk feeds the same dependable envelope.

FILED OVERNIGHT

Reporters and desk leads close their slots before sunrise. No catching the brief mid-edit.

EDITED AS ONE

One editor reads the whole thing top to bottom. If a story doesn't belong in your morning, it gets cut.

IN YOUR INBOX AT 06:00
