Use News Monitoring
Monitor market topics, review timely stories, and move useful news into the content workflow.
News Monitoring watches a focused set of topics and surfaces timely changes that may matter to your customers. It removes duplicates and obvious noise, shows the evidence behind each recommendation, and leaves the writing decision with you or Automation.
Write from one story
Use Single story when you already have a specific report. Paste its public URL or the complete article text, choose when to handle it, and add it to the calendar. Surpasso verifies the source, researches the event, and then uses the same Article Details, writing, review, and publishing workflow as monitored news. This does not start or renew News Monitoring.
Before you start
Complete Brand Context so the suggested topics can reflect the business, audience, markets, and language. Monitoring uses Credits for each active topic over a 30-day period; the page shows the exact calculation before you start or renew.
Set up monitoring topics
- Open News Monitoring.
- Select Suggest monitoring topics.
- Review the suggested topics instead of starting with them blindly.
- Edit the search wording, market, and language for each topic.
- Add or remove topics, up to the limit shown on the page.
- Choose a check frequency from every 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours. Every 3 hours is the recommended default.
- Decide whether monitoring should continue and renew every 30 days.
- Review the Credit total and select Start monitoring.
The query, market, and language work together. A precise topic in the wrong market can still return irrelevant results, so review all three fields.
Understand the monitoring status
The page shows whether monitoring is active, the last and next check, the current frequency, and whether the next 30-day period will renew automatically. Select Check now when you need a fresh scan before the next scheduled check.
Turning off continuous monitoring stops new checks but keeps the results you already paid for. Turning off auto-renew lets the current period finish, then pauses before another charge.
Review News opportunities
Every recommended story shows:
- The suggested article format and event date.
- A concise summary.
- Why the change matters to your customers.
- The number of supporting sources.
- Links to the source pages for your own review.
Select Ignore when the story is not useful. Select Create details & schedule when it deserves an article.
Choose when to handle a story
News can be scheduled Now, Tomorrow, at the End of queue, or on a custom date. Now is recommended because news loses value quickly. After confirmation, Surpasso prepares Article Details and adds the item to Content Calendar.
Stories already moved into the content workflow remain under Used stories, where you can open the matching calendar item.
Monitoring and publishing are separate
Finding a story does not automatically publish an article. Manual News Monitoring lets you choose each story. Automation can separately decide whether News inputs are selected and published without a human step.
How to know the task is complete
Monitoring is set up when the topic list is active and the page shows a next check. A selected story is successfully handed off when it appears in Used stories and opens the corresponding Content Calendar item.
