If you have endeavored to build a social presence for your organization or yourself, you understand that the first 7 seconds determine if the scroller continues watching or swipes to the next video.

Are you still with me?

Unless your story is uber-compelling, 2-3 minutes is the most you have to say what is on your mind. Complex topics like war in Iran, the impact of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on SNAP benefits for Tennesseans, or recent data on the Memphis Safe Task Force must be succinct, yet salient to drive home the message.

But there’s still something missing.

Even the most talented content creators have little choice but to exclude critical data points, relevant context, or engaging details that etch the story or concept in your mind.

The 3AM will include the most essential stories of the week from Washington, D.C., the state of Tennessee, and Memphis and Shelby County in clear, concise “bullets” every Friday morning for free. A glance, and you will know the crux of each issue.
