The Problem

News monitoring tools give you dashboards. You need data.

A comms team drowning in noisy Google Alerts that miss trade, local and international coverage

Google Alerts misses most of what matters.

15 alerts. Half irrelevant. The rest miss trade publications, local outlets, international sources. No structure, no deduplication, no analytics integration.

A small comms team weighing enterprise media-monitoring pricing against a budget that can't absorb it

Enterprise monitoring costs more than your comms budget.

Meltwater from $4K to $30K+/yr. Cision $7K to $30K. Muck Rack $10K to $50K. For many organizations, the tool costs more than the team.

An engineer facing 500 raw daily API articles that still need dedup, relevance filtering and entity extraction

APIs give you articles, not intelligence.

NewsAPI delivers raw articles. Turning 500 daily results into 12 actionable items requires dedup, relevance filtering, entity extraction, and QA. That is engineering work you cannot absorb.

The Data Product

Structured news records, filtered to your issues, verified before delivery.

Every record is documentation-style and machine-ready, with enrichment fields like entities, sentiment, and categories surfaced for analysis.
