Newsgathering

Know what's breaking before the phones ring

Newsagent pulls in wires, emergency alerts, official releases, tips, social and competitors, groups the signals that are about the same thing into developing events, and scores each one for your patch.

The breaking desk: developing events with their scores, sources and a map of where they're happeningThe breaking desk: developing events with their scores, sources and a map of where they're happening

Sources

Everything that comes in, in one place

Wires and feeds

Any RSS or Atom feed: wire services, national newsrooms, police and government media rooms, competitors.

Emergency alerts

Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and geo-tagged feeds from fire, weather and emergency services, placed on the map.

Webhooks

Anything that can post JSON: your tip line, a shared inbox, camera crews and stringers.

Calendars

Court lists, council meetings and fixtures imported into the news diary from .ics files.

Developing events

Signals grouped, scored and ranked for your newsroom

When several sources are talking about the same thing, Newsagent groups them into one developing event and scores it for each desk.

  • Proximity to the desk's coverage area, and a mark-down for events far away
  • The desk's beats, and how many independent sources agree
  • How fast it's growing, urgency (as far as the source is trusted) and how recent it is
  • Open events rescored every few minutes, so quiet stories sink

How it works

From sources to the breaking desk

How items from every source become scored developing events, and how the desk covers them.

The breaking desk

From signal to coverage in a click

Claim it

Claim an event so two people don't chase the same story.

Brief it

An AI brief from the event's signals, with its sources, for the desk to check.

Cover it

An assignment and a story stub in one go, with the signals in the story's notes.

See it on the map

Events where they're happening, sized by score, with the desk's coverage area.

Search the wires

Every item that's come in, searchable, with verification status; make a story from any of them.

Tips and social

Audience tips and social posts weighed by how far they're trusted, so a burst of chatter doesn't look like news.

Planning

The news diary and assignments

The week’s courts, council meetings, press conferences, sport and anniversaries, in your time zone, showing what’s covered and what isn’t. Plan coverage from an entry and it becomes an assignment, due when the event starts.

  • Import calendars again and only what changed is updated
  • Offer, accept, start and finish assignments
  • Today shows what's on and who's on it

How it works

From the diary to coverage

Planned events, imported calendars, and coverage that becomes an assignment due when the event starts.
