We try to cover a broad range of relevant news and, while we strive to use as many free and unrestricted websites as possible, it is nearly impossible to deliver balanced and informed SmartBriefs without including some news sites that require readers to register or pay for access. When this is true, an alternative link is almost always provided. You are responsible for registering on individual websites to access their content.

We're happy to have you come on board as a reader. You can subscribe to our newsletters by visiting our main subscription page.

To change your profile information or edit your subscriptions, please click here to visit our subscriber tools page.

If you have unsubscribed and still receive the newsletter, it is probably because you are signed up to receive the newsletter at a different e-mail address. To ensure that the correct address is being unsubscribed, please use the unsubscribe link in the footer of the SmartBrief e-mail.

Our distribution system will not send an identical copy of one of our e-mail newsletters to a single address. If you are receiving two identical SmartBriefs each day, please make sure that you are not subscribed under two separate e-mail addresses.

You can verify your subscription address by looking in the footer of the e-mail message where it says "This SmartBrief was created for ..."

From there, you can unsubscribe one of the addresses using the Unsubscribe link in the corresponding SmartBrief e-mail.

If you have recently stopped receiving your SmartBrief newsletters, the messages may be getting blocked by your network. Please contact your local network administrator to see if a spam blocker has been installed in your company's servers. You can also refer your network administrator to our “Technical Issues” section on this page for more information.
