A dozen sources swept before you wake up
The e-filing search, the company registry, the council agenda page, the agency press feed, the rival’s vertical: diffed against yesterday, one line of why it matters, a link on every entry.
Every morning, a digest of what changed since yesterday across the dozen sites your beat lives on. One line of why each item might matter, and the link, because a claim without a link is useless to a journalist.
Kept honestly, that check costs ninety minutes a morning, which is why on deadline weeks it does not get kept and a competitor runs the filing you would have found Tuesday. A companion keeps it mechanically, in your logged-in session, on a schedule. Verification, the byline and the copy stay yours.
What does a daily beat sweep look like?
You name the sources: the court’s e-filing search, the company registry, the council agenda page, the agency’s press-release feed, the rival outlet’s vertical. A routine walks them each morning, diffs against yesterday, and writes the digest.
Ten sources or thirty, it runs the same on day forty. The craft underneath is web research automation with a news judgment layer that stays yours.
Can AI build a background file you can trust on deadline?
Ask for background on a company and what comes back is a timeline where every entry carries the URL it came from: incorporation records, past coverage, litigation, the executive’s previous ventures.
A companion assembles that in an hour of tab work you do not do, into a Google Doc, and you verify before anything reaches copy. Finished examples are at real runs.
Turn a 47-minute interview into three quotes by six
Strawberry transcribes meetings and calls it sits in, and a companion pulls the quotes on a topic with timestamps attached.
The recorder’s rules still apply: consent where required, and your own check of any quote against the audio before it prints.
What stays with the byline
Verification belongs to the byline. The digest points you at the document, and the document is what you cite.
Source-identifying material stays outside any AI workflow, this one included, which is why companions here are pointed at public records. Everything on this page stops at research artifacts, which is what makes it compatible with a strict newsroom AI policy. The security page sets out where data goes.
