When we partner with a station we work to get in on the news flow of the local newsmakers including fire, sheriff, mayor's office and school boards to name just a few. With some of our current clients we have established as many as 100 news sources we check on a regular basis. We also capture the news flow, such as emails and faxes, that comes into your station. Beat calls are also regular part of our news gathering process.

If you have a pre-existing partnership with a local television station or newspaper we can work in concert with that relationship to your benefit. When using their content, we are happy to credit them when needed, and even use their talent in voicers and wraps, or even short interviews if they are open to such a working relationship.

Bottom line: we take the information flow that presently comes into your newsroom, make calls when needed, and use it to write and produce your newscasts. We also use the additional information available on the web — for instance, when a local person makes the news in some other part of the country — to add to your local newscasts.
