A One Blog a Day alternative built to publish.
Mastheads is built to run the publishing operation: finding what is worth covering, researching it, writing from real sources, checking the claims and publishing 40 to 300 articles a month in your publication's voice.
One Blog a Day runs a small-business blog on autopilot - keyword research, scheduled posts, social snippets and content refresh - sold by site count, one site on its lower plans and up to five on its top one. Mastheads starts with the newsroom.
One Blog a Day does one small thing well. I needed a newsroom, not a blog, and this page is the honest line between the two.
Mastheads starts with the publishing operation.
One Blog a Day automates a small blog: keyword discovery, scheduled autopilot posts (up to daily), social snippets and a content-refresh pass that revisits aging posts, priced by how many sites you run. Its pages describe citations pulled from 800+ vetted sources and guardrails against fabrication, and its terms place the job of reviewing AI content before it publishes on you.
Mastheads is built around what happens after deciding to publish: researching the story, writing from the material it found, checking the claims, recording anything it could not settle, putting a named editor of record behind the piece and publishing on the schedule you set, by default with your review first.

Built like a newsroom, not just a content tool.
Sourced by default
By default, every article begins with real sources. Those sources are checked for the story, date and substance before writing begins. If a topic cannot be properly sourced, it is dropped rather than padded.
With Research on, no source means 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
Every claim is checked against its sources and the result is written on the article, and nothing ships silently. Auto-publish is opt-in and runs the very same checks - trustworthy when it's unattended, not merely unchecked.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
EU AI Act Article 50 disclosure on anything published unattended, self-serve GDPR export and account deletion with access and correction on request, a registered DMCA agent, and cover images we draw rather than take off the open web, so there is no stock-image rights question to clear - standard on every plan.
A newsroom in any language
Any language, for any country - written in its own grammar and idiom rather than translated, held to the same quality bar, all under one subscription. Where we curate a local newsroom register, it takes that too.
Your content, never locked in
A 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.
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.
