morning report

Early status summary

A morning report is a daily briefing or summary presented at the start of a workday.

In military contexts, it's the formal accounting of a unit's personnel status—who is present, absent, or on leave.

In hospitals, morning report is a teaching conference where residents present cases to attending physicians.

News programs use the term for early broadcasts: Tune in for the morning report at six.
