How County Brief works
Last updated: October 12, 2026
County Brief is a hyper-local dashboard for Sussex County, New Jersey. It is unofficial: not a newspaper of record, not a government website, and not affiliated with Sussex County government or any municipality.
What is aggregated
We collect publicly available material and link to the original publisher:
- News headlines from local outlets
- Events, weather, real-estate listings, and business notices
- Agendas, minutes, and meeting videos from official municipal and county sites
Titles and excerpts are for convenience. Always rely on the original source for the full story or the official record.
Government information and official sources
County Brief is an independent local news service from Wisdom Digital Media, Inc. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government agency. Meeting agendas and minutes come from each town's or school district's official website; every meeting links to the original document.
See Official Sources for the official website of every town council, planning and zoning board, school board and county government we read, plus each county government's website and the State of New Jersey's (www.nj.gov).
What is AI-summarized
Meeting recaps and agenda previews are generated from official documents. They are labeled as AI-generated on the page, in email digests, and on meeting cards. They are informal summaries — not official minutes, legal advice, or a substitute for attending a meeting or reading the source.
If the source is only a packet cover sheet (a filename and a date, with no agenda items), we do not publish an AI recap. Those pages use a short templated description and a link to the official document.
What is human-checked
Recaps are not individually edited before they go live. We spot-check samples for tense errors and factual drift, and we correct problems that readers report. A wrong recap of a real council vote is treated as urgent.
Submit an event
Anyone can send a Sussex County event for the calendar. Those listings are held for review and only appear on the dashboard after they are approved.
