# Newsprint > 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. 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. The daily brief costs $300 a month for the whole company, with any number of readers. There are no per-seat fees, no setup fees and no contract, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. The first brief is free and needs no credit card. A separate Teams plan adds hands-on analysis and reporting, alerts through the day, and white-label delivery. Teams is scoped and priced in a conversation, not from a list. --- # What is Newsprint? URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/what-is-newsprint/ > What Newsprint is, who it is for, and how it differs from Google Alerts, media-monitoring platforms and ChatGPT. Newsprint is a daily executive brief, delivered by email. Every weekday morning you get a single email covering what actually happened in your industry, what your competitors did, and what matters for your company. The brief is built specifically for you. We read your company's website, learn what you care about, and build a research plan around your industry, competitors, and topics. Then every morning, we search across hundreds of sources, evaluate what we find for relevance, and write up the stories that matter. ## How it's different 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. ## Who it's 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 you do Nothing, once it's set up. No dashboard, no app, no settings page. You get a brief every morning. When you want to adjust coverage, you reply to the email. --- # Getting started URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/getting-started/ > Setup takes about 15 minutes over email: enter a work email, reply YES, and the first brief arrives with no payment needed. Setting up Newsprint takes about 15 minutes and happens entirely over email. No account, no dashboard, no installs. ## The flow 1. **Enter your work email** on the landing page. 2. **Your agent emails you within seconds**, from its own address (`yourcompany@newsprint.ai`), asking you to confirm the address: "Reply YES to confirm this address and I'll get to work on your first brief." 3. **You reply YES.** That one word is the whole ask. If you want to steer the brief, add it to the same reply ("YES, and also track lithium policy," or "we care less about funding rounds than product launches") and we build around it. Free-form English works. 4. **Your first brief arrives within about 15 minutes.** We research your company and your topics and send the real thing, not a mockup. No payment required to see it. 5. **Keep refining over email.** Reply with feedback ("too many stories," "missing competitor X," "tone is off") and your agent adjusts coverage for future briefs. 6. **Continue delivery with a subscription.** Your first brief includes a "Subscribe" button at the top. Click it to start your subscription on Stripe, or reply "approve" if you'd rather route through us. Once you're subscribed, briefs arrive every weekday morning on your delivery schedule. ## After you're live Everything keeps working over email. Your agent inbox (`yourcompany@newsprint.ai`) is where changes happen. Reply to any brief with what you want different, forward a newsletter to ingest it, or email a URL to include an article. No dashboard to learn. --- # Pricing URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/pricing/ > The daily brief is $300 a month for any number of readers, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and no contract. The daily brief is $300 per month. Everything is included. ## What's in the daily brief - Daily brief, every weekday morning - Coverage of your company, competitors, and industry topics - Research across hundreds of sources - A publisher link on every story, straight to the original - Unlimited recipients (editors who can change the brief, subscribers who just receive it) - Coverage you change by replying, with a written plan you can ask to see - Email support for anything we didn't anticipate ## What's not in the daily brief Nothing is held back. No feature gates, no per-seat pricing, no setup fees. Add your whole team for the same $300. ## Teams Some organizations need things the daily brief does not cover: hands-on analysis and reporting, alerts through the day on the issues they name, white-labelled delivery under their own brand, centralized admin and SSO. That is scoped in a conversation and priced with you, not off a list. Ask us and we will work out what you need. ## Guarantee and cancellation 30-day money-back guarantee. If the briefs aren't useful, email us in the first 30 days and we'll refund your first month. No questions asked. After that, you can cancel anytime. Reply to any brief with "cancel my subscription" and we'll send you a confirmation link. Paid subscriptions are cancelled in Stripe's billing portal, which shows you the effective date before you confirm. ## Agencies and teams Agencies are welcome. Sign up with your work email like anyone else. When we detect you're at an agency, we'll ask about who you're tracking news for (the agency itself, specific clients, or a mix) and set up the brief from there. --- # Making changes to your brief URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/making-changes/ > Editors change coverage, format, sections, recipients and delivery by replying to any brief in plain English. Your brief changes by replying to it. There's no settings page, no dashboard, no dropdown menus. You say what you want in plain English, and the agent handles it. ## What you can change **Coverage.** "Add Acme Corp as a competitor." "Track lithium policy news." "Stop covering M&A." "More product launches, fewer funding rounds." The agent updates your research plan and the next brief reflects it. **Format.** "Use bullets instead of paragraphs." "Make sections shorter." "Axios-style, please." **Sections.** Rename them, reorder them, add new ones, drop ones you don't read. "Rename 'Competitors' to 'Market'." "Add a section for regulatory news." "Drop the 'Industry' section. It's too broad." **Sensitivity per section.** Some sections you want tight, others you want everything. "More stories in Competitors, fewer in Industry." The agent calibrates per-section. **Team.** "Add alex@company.com as an editor." "Add jane@company.com" (added as subscriber by default). "Remove jane@company.com." Editors can make changes; subscribers just receive the brief. **Delivery.** "Switch to weekend delivery." "Send at 8am ET instead of 6am." ## How changes land The agent confirms what it did in its reply. Most changes take effect the next morning. Coverage changes can take a few minutes to fully reprocess. ## Feedback that isn't a change You can also just tell the agent what you liked and didn't like. "That Reuters piece was exactly right." "Too many product launches from small companies." The system treats this as signal and the brief gets better. --- # Sources and story quality URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/sources-and-quality/ > Where stories come from, how the editor picks them, how paywalls work, and what to do when a story is wrong. 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. --- # Team and recipients URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/team-and-recipients/ > Editors can change the brief and subscribers receive it read-only; people are added or removed by replying to a brief. Newsprint is priced per company, not per seat. Add your whole team. ## Two roles **Editors** can receive the brief and make changes. Editors can add or remove people, update coverage, adjust format, track new stories, monitor pages. If your team has a comms lead and a few execs, the comms lead is usually the editor. **Subscribers** receive the brief read-only. They can unsubscribe themselves, provide feedback, and report story quality issues, but they can't change coverage or manage recipients. This is the right role for execs who want the brief but don't want to manage it. ## Adding and removing people Reply to any brief: - "Add alex@company.com": adds as subscriber (read-only) by default - "Add alex@company.com as editor": adds with permission to change the brief - "Change alex@company.com to editor": changes role - "Remove jane@company.com": removes entirely - "Who's on the brief?": lists current recipients and roles New recipients get a welcome email explaining what Newsprint is and how to unsubscribe. ## Subscribers and privacy Subscribers see the same brief editors see. If your brief covers sensitive topics (pending deals, internal priorities), be thoughtful about who's on the list. Anyone receiving the brief can forward it. --- # Delivery and schedule URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/delivery-and-schedule/ > Briefs arrive early each weekday morning in the reader's time zone; weekends, on-demand briefs and a set time are available on request. By default, Newsprint delivers every weekday morning. You can change that. ## Default Weekdays, delivered early morning in your timezone. The brief covers the previous 24 hours of news, with longer horizons for slower-moving topics (regulatory, market structure) and shorter ones for fast-moving ones (earnings days, breaking stories). ## Weekend delivery Weekends aren't on by default because most people don't want a Saturday brief. If you do, reply to any brief with "send weekends too" and we'll switch it on. ## On-demand briefs Need a brief right now (not tomorrow) for a meeting or a news moment? Reply with "send me a brief on [topic]" or "send a brief now" and the agent runs a fresh research pass. Takes a few minutes. ## Time of day Ask for a specific delivery time ("send at 7am ET") and the agent adjusts. We don't guarantee the exact minute (briefs complete when the research and writing are done), but we aim for the window you've requested. --- # FAQs URL: https://www.newsprint.com/docs/faqs/ > Short answers to the questions people ask most about Newsprint. ## How long does setup take? About 15 minutes. Share your work email and your agent emails you straight back to confirm the address. Reply YES, or tell us what you want covered, and your first brief lands in your inbox. More: [Getting started](https://www.newsprint.com/docs/getting-started.md) ## Can my team get the brief too? Yes. Reply to any brief with "add subscriber name@company.com" and they'll start receiving it. Editors can change what the brief covers and manage who's on it. Subscribers receive a read-only copy. More: [Team and recipients](https://www.newsprint.com/docs/team-and-recipients.md) ## What sources do you use? Wire services, national and business media, and the trade publications for your industry. Your coverage plan decides what we search for, and an AI editor reads what comes back and picks what reaches your brief.

Newsprint records it for our team. It cannot recall the email that already went out, so if colleagues read the story, tell them yourself.

You have to remember to ask ChatGPT, 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. More: [What is Newsprint?](https://www.newsprint.com/docs/what-is-newsprint.md) ## Is this a media monitoring tool? No. Monitoring platforms give you every mention and a place to log in and search them. Newsprint gives you the briefing: the reading and the selection are already done when the email lands, and there is nothing to log into. More: [What is Newsprint?](https://www.newsprint.com/docs/what-is-newsprint.md) ## Can I change my topics? Anytime. Just reply to any brief with what you want to change. "Add Acme Corp as a competitor." "Track lithium policy news." "Stop covering M&A." No settings page, no dashboard. Just email.
