Daybrief is a daily world briefing built from two open datasets: what the world's press covered (GDELT) and what people looked up (Wikipedia pageviews). We update twice a day, at 09:00 and 21:00 UTC.
World coverage. The World section counts how many news stories mentioned each country, using GDELT's open event dataset. We store only aggregates we compute ourselves — story counts, average tone and the share of events GDELT classifies as conflict — never article text or headlines. "Unusual surge" compares a country's volume against the median for the same weekday over the previous four weeks, because press volume drops sharply at weekends.
Sources. Headlines come from GDELT's open event dataset; each links to the original publisher, and the outlet counts next to them are our own computation. Wikipedia most-read articles come from the Wikimedia pageviews API per language edition, with short descriptions from Wikidata (CC0).
What Δ means. For ranked boards, Δ is the change in position since yesterday's last snapshot. For prices, it is the percentage change. NEW marks an item that was not on the board yesterday.
What we do not do. We do not republish news articles or headlines from news outlets, and we do not rewrite them. Items link to their original source.
