Autonomy & coverage
Coverage area
Add up to 5 places so the newsroom covers your area first.
Give a domain a coverage area and the newsroom starts looking close to home before it looks anywhere else.
Pick your places
Add up to 5 places to a domain's coverage area - towns, municipalities, or regions, drawn from a global place list.
Local first, national fills the rest
Each cycle looks in your coverage area first. A scan covers a fixed amount of ground, so the more places you add, the more of that scan goes to local.
Grounded in open sources
Local stories are built from open sources - municipal sites, agencies, event organizers - and pass through the same quality gates as everything else the newsroom produces.
