What is moving today. Briefing, LIVE station, multi-outlet wire, and desk packages. These pages are for the hour and the day — they are not long-form investigations and they are not the five-act case. External wire rows are labeled EXTERNAL SOURCE.

News is for the clock. Investigations are for the file.
Start with the briefing for what Ottawa is doing now. Use LIVE for segment video. Use the wire to compare outlets. When a story needs depth, jump to the investigation or case file linked on the package — do not treat a day package as a finished dossier.
Recent day files
Short packages from the live sheet. Each one states what is on the record, what is not claimed, and links sources. Open the linked investigation for depth.
