    News monitoring software

    News monitoring software that sends relevant updates to your team

    NewsCatch monitors the publications and topics you choose, scores every article for relevance against your keywords, and delivers the ones that matter to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel — not another inbox.

    It is built for PR and communications teams who need to see coverage early without reading everything.

    How news monitoring works in NewsCatch

    Three moving parts: sources, keywords and delivery. Each is yours to control.

    1. 1

      Choose your sources

      Monitor specific publications, or add any RSS feed you already follow. Coverage is de-duplicated, so one story appears once.

    2. 2

      Define your keywords

      Brand names, spokespeople, competitors, topics. Every article is scored for relevance against these terms before it can notify anyone.

    3. 3

      Deliver where the team works

      Relevant articles post to the Slack or Microsoft Teams channel you pick — in real time or as a scheduled digest, with quiet hours.

    Relevance filtering, not a firehose

    The difference between monitoring software and a feed reader is what it refuses to send you.

    Raw feeds bury the five articles that matter under the fifty that don't. NewsCatch scores each article against your keyword set and only notifies when it clears the minimum relevance score you set per rule.

    • Per-rule minimum relevance score
    • Real-time alerts or scheduled digests
    • Quiet hours so nights stay quiet
    • Near-duplicate stories collapsed to one
    • Saved articles for reports and follow-up
    • Slack and Microsoft Teams delivery side by side

    Who uses news monitoring software

    Anyone whose job includes knowing about coverage before someone asks them about it.

    PR agencies run one monitored project per client. In-house comms teams track their brand, executives and competitors. Founders watch their market. The common need is the same: relevant news, early, where the team already reads.

    Common questions

    How is this different from Google Alerts?

    Google Alerts emails one person. NewsCatch scores articles for relevance and posts them to a shared Slack or Teams channel, with digests, quiet hours and de-duplication.

    Which sources can I monitor?

    News publications and any RSS feed. You pick the sources per project, so coverage is focused on the outlets that matter to you.

    Can different topics go to different channels?

    Yes. Each notification rule has its own keywords, minimum relevance score, schedule and destination channel.

    What does it cost?
