From one blog to a newsroom.
One Blog a Day puts a single small-business blog on autopilot. That's the whole product, and also its ceiling: it scales by adding more posts, not more editions, it's English in practice, and it carries no AI-disclosure, no documented compliance, and no named-byline layer. Mastheads is a different order of the same idea, a full newsroom, in five languages, under named bylines, with the editorial gates and compliance a real publication needs.
One Blog a Day is a single-blog tool, one site, more posts is the only axis of "scale." It's English in practice with no multilingual output, and while it advertises anti-fabrication guardrails and vetted sources, there's no named editor of record, no AI-disclosure, and no documented compliance or human-review gate. Fine for one small blog; not built for a publication.
The tape.
- A newsroom that runs multiple editions in five native languages, not a single English blog.
- A named editor of record, EU AI Act disclosure, and per-publication data isolation on every article.
- Quality gates that can hold or drop a weak piece, plus a full authenticity trace, not just guardrails you can't inspect.
- The same autopilot convenience, scaled to a publication instead of one feed.
What you get that One Blog a Day doesn't.
Sourced, or it doesn't ship
Every article is written from cited sources and cross-checked against them before delivery. A judge vets each source for the specific story - right event, right dates, real substance - and a topic that can't be properly sourced is dropped, not padded. No source, no article.
A real editor of record
Nothing publishes anonymously. Each article carries a real named byline and a human editor of record, accountable for editorial standards, source policy, and disputes - the person whose name is on the door.
Review by default; auto-publish you can defend
Independent quality gates can hold any article for one-click human review, and nothing ships silently. Auto-publish is opt-in and runs the very same gates - trustworthy when it's unattended, not merely unchecked.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
EU AI Act Article 50 disclosure, GDPR export and erasure, a registered DMCA agent, and a pre-publish copyright gate that stops a rights-risky image before it goes live - standard on every plan.
A newsroom in five languages
English, German, Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch - each written in its own grammar and idiom rather than translated, held to the same quality bar, all under one subscription.
Your content, never locked in
Physical per-publication data isolation, a read-only pull API, and one-click export to WordPress WXR, Ghost, and Markdown with every image. You own the articles outright - no royalty, no attribution back to us.
One Blog a Day is built for one small blog. Mastheads is what you reach for when it's a publication, not a blog: multiple editions, five native languages, named bylines, compliance, and gates that can refuse to publish. Same instinct, do AI content properly, at a newsroom's scale instead of a single feed.
Under the hood: it discovers stories in your niche, writes them in your voice, fact-checks against sources, illustrates, and publishes to your CMS, on your schedule.
