Our Mission
Story Scout’s mission is to help newsrooms find important stories sooner by turning scattered public signals into clear, actionable leads.
We surface early indicators buried in filings, hiring moves, public records, funding activity, and local data, then explain what’s changing, why it matters, and where a reporter should look next.
By reducing the time spent hunting for signals, Story Scout gives journalists more space to do what matters most: original reporting, deeper context, and accountability journalism that serves their communities.

Story Scout™
How it works
Instead of overwhelming writers with alerts, Story Scout organizes information by beat, geography, company, people, and institution.
Each lead includes concise context, links to primary sources, and suggested angles or follow-up questions.
This makes it easier for reporters on tight deadlines and editors managing lean teams to turn raw information into newsroom ready reporting while maintaining editorial judgment and local expertise.
