What this is
Executive Producer is a news market story finder for working journalists. We monitor ~45 public sources per metro — government press rooms, broadcast outlets, local newspapers, neighborhood blogs, and subreddits — then dedupe the same story across outlets into a single cluster, score it by newsworthiness, and surface the top leads every hour. We are a pointer, not a publisher.Every headline above links to the original outlet — that's the URL to cite. Our summaries and scores are machine-generated; use them as a lead, not the law.
