Subscription
Two editions a day, 6am and 5pm Edmonton time. The same brief you are reading: council and committee decisions, permits and licences, police and emergency releases, courts, weather and sport — every claim checked against its source, and anything we could not verify sent as a headline and a link.
Alberta mode is the news read back to you by a machine doing an impression of a guy from here. The facts underneath are the same ones as the plain edition — every number, name, date and phone number is checked against the source both ways, and a restyle that moves one is thrown out. What changes is the voice, and the voice is not polite.
It is meant to be funny, and it is meant to be a bit much. Some of it is going to sit wrong anyway, because a machine writing dry about this place will eventually write dry about something that deserved better. When it does, that is on us and we would rather hear it than not: corrections@edmontondailybrief.ca, and we will pull the line.
It does not make jokes about everything. A death, a missing person, a health warning or an evacuation still gets the voice — it just stops being funny, because that is what people here actually do. Court matters and anyone charged are left untouched word for word: they have a trial coming and we are not part of it.
It reaches fewer stories than you might expect. Most items read the same in both editions — the note at the top says how many changed today. Turning this on does not rewrite the paper.
The plain edition is the record, and it is the default. It is one click away and it is where you should check anything before you act on it.
