What Newsprint is

Newsprint is a daily news brief about one company, its competitors and its industry. It is researched and written with AI each morning and emailed to the whole team.

Who it is for

The person who would otherwise assemble the morning view of the outside world by hand. At a lean, high-stakes company that is usually the owner, an operator, or an exec; where there is a comms or marketing lead, it is often them.

The defining trait is not a title. It is that news, competitors, and industry developments matter to the company, nobody here is paid full time to track them, and the job falls to whoever has the least excuse to skip it.

What it does

Newsprint builds a written coverage plan for each company from its website and what the customer asks for. Every weekday morning it searches hundreds of sources against that plan. An AI editor reads what comes back, picks the stories that matter to the company, and writes them up, each linked to the original article. The brief arrives early in the reader's time zone. Weekend delivery and on-demand briefs are available on request.

Editors on the account change the brief by replying to it in plain English: coverage, format, sections, recipients and delivery time. Subscribers receive it read-only. There is no dashboard, no app, no settings page and nothing to log into. Newsprint is not a media-monitoring platform and does not keep a searchable archive of every mention. The daily brief sends no alerts between briefs.

How it differs from the alternatives

Alerts. Google Alerts and similar tools send you every mention. That turns into a firehose: more email, not less. Newsprint is the opposite. We read hundreds of articles so you don’t have to, and send you the handful that actually matter.

Monitoring platforms. Meltwater, Cision, and Muck Rack are built for a team that logs in, runs searches, and pulls reports. They give you coverage. Newsprint gives you a briefing: the reading and the selection are already done when the email arrives, and there is nothing to log into.

ChatGPT and general AI tools. You can ask a chatbot what happened in your industry, but you have to remember to ask, you have to frame the question, and you get a different answer each time. Newsprint runs on a written coverage plan built for your company, on a schedule, and every story links to the reporting it came from.

Every story names the publisher it ran in, as a link straight to the original article. Reply with “skip stories like this” and we’ll change your coverage plan so the next brief follows.
