Hi Brian, I was googling exactly this issue when I found your post.

Would you believe it - as I read your post the answer dawned on me, and yes, it works!

Next time you get a Briefing notification, simply long hold on it to bring up it's options and turn that off.

I guess I should've followed up on this. So, when you're looking at the applications list, there is an option to show system apps as well. Clicking that, I was able to get briefing disabled. Not 100% sure but I think your way just silences the notifications.

Long press the home screen, swipe to the right to get to the Flipboard screen, turn off switch at top. Easy peasy.

Surely I will buy a pint next I can, because you A) Read the post B) posted the solution
Thank you sir!

Others, eh, RTFP. He already had Briefing turned off - as did I - why notifications for a 'disabled' app would still fly, well - sounds like a programming oversight.

Again, thank you MentalBiscuit.

To disable notification, go into the Briefing app and press settings and then turn off Notifications.

To completely uninstall, Settings -> Application Manager
Click More -> Show System Apps
Scroll down to Briefing and click it, then press Disable

That worked...under advanced options!

Not helpful; if you read the OP, the Briefing Panel was already turned off

The correct answer is:

To disable notification, go into the Briefing app and press settings and then turn off Notifications.

To completely uninstall, Settings -> Application Manager
Click More -> Show System Apps
Scroll down to Briefing and click it, then press Disable

Fantastic. That's what I was looking for but didn't find. This way, Briefing is not eating resources.

Thank you
