Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I find specific news publishers using my AI?

You tell your AI what kind of news you want, such as a specific country or a niche topic. It uses the NewsCatcher database to return a filtered list of publishers that match your needs. You'll get a breakdown of how this works below.

The results

Where your data lands

The AI turns your search criteria into a structured list of media outlets.

FILTERED

Targeted publisher lists

The AI isolates outlets that cover your specific niche. You get a clean list of names and details.

GEOGRAPHIC

Regional news coverage

Ask for sources from specific countries or regions. The AI finds local voices in the global database.

LINGUISTIC

Language-specific sources

Find publishers that write in specific languages. This helps you find local news that isn't always visible in English feeds.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You review the list the AI provides. You decide which publishers are actually high-quality enough for your specific project.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for sources.

The AI acts as a bridge between your conversational request and the NewsCatcher database.

  1. Parse your request

    Your AI analyzes your prompt to extract the specific filters you want, like a topic or a country.

    list_sources

  2. Query the database

    The AI calls the tool to search the NewsCatcher index for publishers matching those parameters.

    list_sources

  3. Filter and clean

    The AI takes the raw data and removes anything that doesn't fit your exact requirements.

    list_sources

  4. Present the list

    The AI formats the results into a readable list or table for you to look over.
