Cover a topic

Hand the newsroom a topic - it finds the story, sources it, writes it, and delivers one article to your review queue.

Name a topic and the newsroom takes it from there: one finished article per request, on demand.

What the newsroom does

It finds the story behind your topic, sources it, writes it in your voice, fact-checks the draft, and delivers it through the same pipeline every article follows. See the full pass in How an article happens.

Two ways to hand it over

Give a headline and the newsroom finds the reporting behind it - or switch to Bring your own story and write from your own brief and source links.

Every section, every language

Cover a topic works for every section you run, including niche sections, in every language your edition supports.

Tied to a place

A Local-or-National step ties the coverage to a place. One-tap suggestions draw from your coverage areas and your edition's country.

Never capped by daily pacing

Covering a topic draws only on your article pool, not your daily pacing schedule, so it's never held back by the day's cap.

Duplicate protection

Before a topic can cost you an article, duplicate protection checks it against what's already being written, what's freshly covered, and what's already running, and refuses the repeat.

Want ongoing coverage instead?

One request makes one article. For a subject you want covered continuously, give the edition a section for it - the autonomous newsroom keeps covering its beats on its own (activation is being opened account by account). See Autonomous and manual.
