What you're really buying
A media intelligence platform is a toolkit: searches, dashboards, reports, media databases. Someone on your team has to run it.
nwsppr is a newspaper. It reads the coverage for you and prints the stories that affect your company, competitors and customers, every morning, before the first meeting.
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.
