News and media data

News and media data provides articles from online news sites, newswires, blogs, broadcast transcripts and trade publications, often enriched with entities, topics, sentiment and events. Compliance teams screen for adverse media, investors track market-moving events, communications teams monitor brands, researchers study coverage and AI teams use licensed news to ground assistants with current information.

Typical fields

• Article ID, headline, URL and source
• Publication and collection timestamps
• Language and country
• Full text or snippet, depending on the licence
• Extracted entities such as companies, people and places
• Topics, categories, sentiment and event types
• Duplicate or story cluster identifiers

Sources and methods

Providers crawl publicly accessible news sites and feeds, or license content directly from publishers and wires. Natural language processing extracts entities, links them to identifiers such as tickers or LEIs and groups duplicate stories. Full-text rights vary: some sources allow only headlines and snippets, while licensed content can include full text and archives.

Delivery and pricing

News is delivered through search APIs, streaming feeds, webhooks and bulk archives. Pricing is usually monthly or annual, based on article volume, number of sources, full text versus metadata, latency and history. AI training and retrieval rights are usually separate and priced higher.

Before you buy

• Confirm whether full text is licensed and for which uses.
• Ask about source lists, languages and paywalled publishers.
• Check latency from publication to availability.
• Test entity linking accuracy on companies you know.
• Ask how syndicated and duplicate content is handled.
