About USA Brief

USA Brief is an independent satirical publication covering work, money, technology, culture and the increasingly strange experience of being online.

Our stories use fictional characters, invented situations and parody to make sense of modern life.

Some headlines may sound familiar. That is usually the problem.

What We Cover

  • U.S.

    Reporting from around the country on the ordinary situations that quietly define national life.

  • Economy

    Prices, budgets, groceries and the household decisions that follow them.

  • Work

    Employment, meetings, performance reviews and the modern definition of a working day.

  • Markets

    Investors, portfolios, convictions and the charts that test them hourly.

  • Technology

    Devices, software and the productivity systems built to manage the work they create.

  • Culture

    How Americans talk to one another, and how much of it happens on a phone.

  • Lifestyle

    Weekends, diets, running shoes and plans that begin on Monday.

Editorial Approach

USA Brief publishes satire and parody.

Stories and characters may be fictional and should not be interpreted as factual reporting unless specifically identified otherwise.
