See the briefing you’d actually send.
A usable briefing needs a clear reporting window and evidence you can trace back to source. This is a real report preview from the product, showing exactly how it handles a case with limited prior coverage to compare against.
The organisation is fictional demo data — it shows the report format, not a real monitoring result.

See exactly what’s covered.
Source availability depends on what you configure and the access each source allows — confirm your specific outlets before you switch, it only takes minutes.
What’s covered
News and RSS feeds, web coverage, X, Reddit, Bluesky, Lemmy, YouTube and TikTok — plus review sites and Irish or UK parliamentary records where you configure them.
Every coverage report links back to its original source, and report types can carry different kinds of evidence.
What’s out of scope
LinkedIn and Substack aren’t native sources yet, and StoryOps doesn’t include licensed print, TV or radio clips — pair it with a clipping service if your reporting needs those.
It’s built for monitoring, analysis and response, not as a journalist database or press-distribution tool — and every AI finding is there for your team to check, not to publish unreviewed.
