Sources and story quality

Every brief is built from fresh research. We don’t pre-aggregate a feed; we search for each story when your brief is being built.

Where stories come from

Your coverage plan decides what we search for. General news searches start from a shared list of outlets: wire services, national and international media, and business press. We add the trade publications for your industry, and a search for mentions of a specific company or person can reach beyond that list.

The outlets that show up in any given brief depend on what your brief covers and what ran that day. A quiet day is a short brief, not a padded one.

You can also bring your own sources:

• Newsletters. Subscribe to industry newsletters with your agent address (yourcompany@newsprint.ai) and the stories inside them get pulled into your brief.
• RSS/Atom feeds. “Monitor acmecorp.com/newsroom/feed.xml for updates.” We’ll watch the feed and surface new entries in your brief. (Send a feed URL, usually ending in /feed or .xml.)
• Direct article submission. Forward a link or email the URL. It goes into your next brief.

Tell us which publications matter to your business and we’ll work them into your plan.

How we pick stories

An AI editor builds each brief from your coverage plan. It reads the candidate articles, checks the ones it wants to use, and picks the stories that matter to your company. You can steer it per section: ask for more stories in Competitors and fewer in Industry, and the next brief follows.

Publisher links and paywalls

Every story names the publisher it ran in, as a link. Click it and you’re on the publisher’s own page.

Some of those articles need a subscription to read. Newsprint doesn’t include publisher subscriptions, open paywalls, or give you the right to republish a publisher’s work. How much of an article we can read while researching varies by source.

When a story is wrong

Newsprint uses AI to choose and summarize reporting, and it can get things wrong. Read the linked article before you act on a summary.

If you spot an error, reply to the brief and say which story is wrong and what’s wrong with it. The agent records the report and tells you whether it reached our team.

Reporting an error doesn’t recall the email that already went out, and we don’t automatically send a correction to everyone who received the original brief. If other people need to know, say so in your report and tell us who was affected.
