The brief

News from the places the headlines skip.

International news circles the same few countries. Lexy Originals covers the rest with three fresh stories every edition, built for voice.

The stories others skip

Consequential news from across the Global South, not the same few capitals.

Built for the ear

Short and narrated, three stories your audience can finish in minutes.

Engagement built in

A quick quiz turns a passive read into something your audience plays and remembers.

Editorial standards

Edited to a standard, not scraped.

Every edition runs against written editorial rules, and a managing editor sends weak stories back until they meet the bar.

Clear story criteria

Stories must be timely, consequential, and useful beyond the daily news cycle.

Deliberate country mix

Coverage rotates across regions so the same countries do not dominate every edition.

Source led summaries

Every brief is tied back to the reporting it came from.

Fact checked before release

Names, numbers, dates, and claims are checked against source material.

One version of record

The written brief, narration, captions, and quiz all come from the same source text.

Voice ready writing

Scripts are edited for spoken clarity, not just written summary.

How it works

A virtual newsroom, working around the clock.

A planning desk sees events coming, an assignment desk covers the day, and a foreign desk reads the local press in its own language.

Planning Desk1

Search

A planning calendar flags events before they arrive, and researchers gather far more of the day's reporting than will ever run, in the language it was written.

Assignment Desk2

Select

A scout shortlists the day and an editor picks three stories by judgment, not by how widely they were covered.

Correspondent3

Write

A correspondent turns the verified facts into a short brief built for the ear.

Managing Editor4

Edit

A managing editor checks every fact against independent reporting and sends weak stories back until they meet the bar.

Voice Booth5

Narrate

Creates native quality audio in each supported language.

Distribution6

Publish

Delivers the brief to web, phone, RSS, and the companion quiz.

The economics

A newsroom's output, without a newsroom's payroll.

Running daily multilingual world coverage used to take a full production desk. Now it is a brief you embed.

Then

Global daily coverage meant producers, editors, narrators, and a budget to match.

Now

A virtual newsroom produces the finished brief, and you add it to your property in minutes.

Still human-led

People set the standard and a managing editor enforces it on every edition, sending back anything that does not measure up.

For your audience

Hear it your way.

The same brief works on your page, over the phone, or from a QR code, with no app to install.

On the page

Embedded on your site, your audience listens, reads along, and takes the quiz.

By phone

A phone number plays the same brief for callers, no app required.

From a QR code

Drop a QR on print, signage, or a campaign and it opens today's edition.
