Sentinel for journalists: your beat's press review, ready before you sit down
Wires, competitors, specialist sites, press releases and the accounts that matter on your beat, read continuously and sorted by what is new. One email every morning, every claim linked to its source.
15-day free trial, no credit cardA journalist's morning
Before writing a line, you need to know what came out. The wires, the competition, institutional sites, the press releases of the companies you follow, three newsletters, two accounts that speak before everyone else. An hour, sometimes two, of reading to find the five things worth a phone call.
Sentinel does that hour for you, and does it around the clock.
What Sentinel does
You describe your beat in one sentence and list your sources, or let Sentinel suggest them. It watches them 24 hours a day: French and international press, specialist sites, institutions, press releases, newsletters, LinkedIn, podcasts and video, more than 1,000 sources in 50 countries.
Every morning, an email. Not a feed: a note that says what is new since yesterday, ranked by importance, with two sentences of context and the link to every article cited. What has not changed is not in it. When a strong signal appears during the day, a flash alert goes out without waiting for tomorrow.
Every note is reviewed before sending by a second model that checks names, dates and figures against the sources. What does not hold up is corrected or removed.
For example
A business journalist covers three stories: a pension reform, an industrial group in trouble, the electricity market. At 7 a.m. she receives the twenty articles that matter on those three subjects, what each one adds, and the statements worth picking up. She knows who to call before 9.

- Can I follow several beats?
- Yes, one watch per subject. Solo includes three weekly watches; Team, fifteen watches with a daily email and flash alerts.
