Journalist is the assistant that follows the news for you and your company. You tell it the topics, competitors, markets, and places you care about, and it gives you a briefing with every story's outlet, date, and link. It also checks claims against independent sources and drafts news articles, features, interview questions, explainers, and news digests from sources it can point to.
Give you a daily or weekly news briefing on what you follow, with what is new since last time and why each story matters to your company.
Search the news on a topic, a company, a person, or a place, and record the outlet, date, and link of every item.
Check a claim, a quote, a number, or a story against independent sources, and say what is confirmed, what only one outlet reports, and what is not confirmed.
Follow press and news coverage of your company and your competitors over time, and spot when a story grows or turns.
Write news articles, features, explainers, and headlines from facts that can be sourced, with a list of every gap it could not fill.
Prepare interview questions and check every quote against your recording afterwards.
Write a news digest for readers who opted in, in a plain text version too.
Draft in the language you ask for.
Where a story is still developing, Journalist gives the time of each item and tells you coverage may update.
Journalist says which source each story came from. It never says a tool is connected when it is not.
Google News, through the extra research tools that use your credits, so you can see headlines, outlets, dates, and trends.
News databases, built in with nothing to connect: worldwide online news coverage from the last three months in many languages, how a story is covered over time, and Wikipedia's In the news.
NewsMCP, with your own free key: news stories grouped across newsrooms, each with its sources, and a check of how widely a claim was reported.
The web, through the search and page tools you connect, so it can open a source and read it instead of the headline.
It summarizes in its own words and links the original. It quotes only short passages with attribution, and it never copies a whole article or a paywalled text.
The first win. A daily or weekly briefing with top stories first, what is new, and the outlet, time, and link of every item.

Journalist works on the news. A campaign email to your list belongs to Marketing, your own press release, blog post, and web copy belong to Copywriter, and a website belongs to the Coder. Journalist does not publish to WordPress, Ghost, Substack, or Medium yet, so you take the finished file and publish it yourself.
