Stop Wasting Hours on Story Lead Evaluation

Instantly screen tips and assignments to uncover your next big story.

Sifting through endless leads and tips eats up your time and energy, leaving less room for real reporting. You’re stuck manually sorting, verifying, and prioritizing — and the best stories risk slipping through the cracks.
