Common Newswire / For newsrooms
Coverage that starts
with place.
A reporting and distribution service for state, local and community newsrooms. Geography comes first, so useful coverage can reach the people it matters to.
For subscribing newsrooms
A wider lens.
A local purpose.
Browse relevant coverage across national, state, metro and local scopes. One story can matter to several places without becoming several different versions of the facts.
Common Newswire brings together clear attribution, use terms, version details and correction notices—so a newsroom can understand both the story and what it can do with it.
Coverage varies by market and subscriber access
The reporting-to-publication journey
From reported material
to useful coverage.
- 01
Report.
Common reporters provide story notes, interviews and supporting documents for an assignment.
- 02
Review.
Common editors prepare the story, examine the evidence, resolve questions and approve the version for release.
- 03
Find & use.
Authorized subscribers find published coverage, review attribution and use terms, then copy or export the permitted material.
- 04
Stay current.
Corrections and withdrawal notices connect to earlier versions and the newsrooms that obtained them.
Subscriber access is to published coverage; Common’s reporting material and editorial work remain in its production operation.
Designed around real newsroom needs
A small newsroom fills a coverage gap.
An editor searches the city and surrounding metro for relevant published stories, checks the byline and permitted use, and brings selected copy into the newsroom’s own publishing workflow.
A statewide decision gets a local audience.
A community newsroom finds a state policy or budget story, understands why it matches its coverage area, and publishes the permitted reporting with proper attribution.
A reporter turns notes into a reviewed story.
A Common reporter files interview notes and documents. Common’s editorial team develops and reviews the article before approved copy becomes available on the wire.
A correction reaches the right desk.
A newsroom that used an earlier version receives an appropriate notice and can identify the changed reporting and any authorized replacement.
