MONITORING

01The cost of monitoring by hand

Every hour spent checking websites is an hour not spent reporting.

Assignment desks spend hours every day monitoring government websites, agency pressrooms, court dockets, school board portals, and public records. Reporters sift through lengthy agendas, meeting packets, and filings for the one story that matters.

It's essential work. It's also repetitive, time-consuming, and impossible to scale. BeatNews automates that editorial groundwork, so your team spends more time breaking stories and less time searching for them.

02The operational case

Instead of hiring another producer to monitor more sources.

BeatNews gives your existing newsroom the equivalent of an always-on editorial research team operating 24 hours a day. Here's what changes the day it's deployed.

AI that reads the documents your newsroom doesn't have time to.

Meeting agendas. Budget packets. Court filings. Planning reports. Board packets. BeatNews opens every document, reads it in full, and writes an editorial brief before anyone clicks the PDF.

Editorial summary

The council will vote on a $4.2M bond reallocation moving funds from a delayed road project to the police department's facilities budget, plus a rezoning request near the new school district campus.

Flagged story leads

    Recommended next step

    Assign a reporter to the 6 PM session. Request the bond reallocation memo from the city clerk before the vote.

    BeatNews is gold for monitoring all government and local city web pages. I use it to keep up with updates from YouTube pages, X accounts, and pressrooms. It really is a one-stop shop.
