Transit shutdown strands riders on the east side

Your Assignment Desk watches your market's public records, community conversation and trending posts, files story pitches with named sources, drafts scripts for review, and vets viewer tips — and never invents a story.
Editorial Intelligence Platform
We keep watch over everything happening in your market — what's breaking overnight, what's filed at city hall, what neighbors are complaining about, and what's catching fire online — then hand your team real story pitches with the sources already attached. Every one of them governed by our Truth Doctrine.

Our Standard · The Truth Doctrine
We wrote the Truth Doctrine before we wrote the product. Every pitch we file traces back to a real, named signal in the public record — a police log, a service complaint, a transit alert, a filed document, a post taking off across town. When the signals go quiet, so do we. We enforce it in code, not in a policy document: pitches that can't cite a real source are discarded before anyone sees them.
WHO WROTE IT
We come from local newsrooms and journalism classrooms — decades of assignment desks, live shots and deadlines. We built the tool we always wanted, not the one technologists guessed at.
HOW WE ENFORCE IT
Source verification, attribution rules and a sourceless-pitch filter run on every single generation — backed by an automated test suite that fails our build the moment a rule breaks.
WHAT IT DEMANDS
Attribution ladders. Alleged until adjudicated. Get the other side. Verbatim-only quotes. We took the working principles of professional newsrooms and wrote them into the machine.
What we do
We run four desks around the clock, turning your market's raw public record into something you can assign.
Scanner traffic, police and fire logs, neighborhood forums, social platforms and the posts starting to trend — all watched live, filtered to your market, and always flagged as unverified until someone confirms them.
[SCANNER] Crews reportedly on scene — UNVERIFIED
Signals become pitches: a headline, an angle, named sources, and a confidence grade — ranked so the lead story finds you, not the other way around.
[PITCH FILED] Transit shutdown pitch — SOURCED
One click from pitch to broadcast copy — active voice, tight timing, sound directives — with every unconfirmed fact flagged in brackets for a producer to clear.
[SCRIPT] :45 VO-SOT draft — 2 items to verify
Viewer email lands, gets vetted, archived, and made searchable. The tip line finally has a memory — and nothing slips through an unread inbox again.
[TIPS] Tip vetted and archived — searchable
We find and draft. Your newsroom decides. Every pitch arrives ranked and sourced for an editor to weigh, every script arrives with its unconfirmed facts flagged for a producer to clear, and nothing reaches a viewer until someone on your team has read it and said yes. We make your people faster — we never replace their judgment.
