SPINSee almost everything your rivals publish, as they publish it.

SPIN is a competitor-intelligence feed for newsrooms. It monitors rival publications non-stop, delivers their articles in near real time to an ad-free in-app reader, and lets your desk repurpose a story as context and give it a new spin with the integrated writer.

The problem

Why SPIN exists

Google News shows a handful of well-optimised articles from each rival. Desks that rely on it miss most of what competitors actually publish, and find out about the important ones late.

How it works

Questions

SPIN, answered

Is SPIN the same as Google News?

No. Google News surfaces a few optimised stories. SPIN delivers almost everything a rival publishes, in near real time.

Can we choose which publications to track?

Yes. You name the publications and sections; SPIN monitors them continuously.
