Talkwalker alternative
Need the news, not a listening platform?
Talkwalker is a consumer intelligence platform built for listening to what people say about brands across social media, news and the wider web. If your marketing team mostly needs to know what was reported about your market each morning, nwsppr is a smaller, simpler way to get it.

Listening, or reading the news
A listening platform tracks conversation: queries over social posts, news and the web, with dashboards to analyse what comes back. Someone on your team writes the queries and reads the results.
nwsppr is a newspaper. It reads the trade press, newsrooms and official announcements for you and prints the stories that affect your company, competitors and customers, every 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.
