Brandwatch alternative
Need the news, not a social intelligence suite?
Brandwatch is a consumer intelligence and social media platform for listening to online conversation, researching audiences and managing social channels. If your marketing team mostly needs the news that affects your company each morning, nwsppr is a smaller, simpler way to get it.

Conversation, or coverage
Social intelligence tools are built around conversation: what people post, how sentiment moves, which audiences talk about you. They take a trained team to run.
nwsppr is built around coverage: the stories reporters, newsrooms and regulators publish about your market, picked and ranked for your company each morning.
How nwsppr works
Give us your website. We find your competitors, products and topics, and you confirm them. The paper follows them from then on.
Each story says why it matters to you and how long you have to act, with a link to the original reporting.
