News Digest Designer

Answer a few quick questions and we'll design a personalized news monitoring system for you.

This is a new tool and still being polished — if something doesn't work right, drop a note to towknightcenter@journalism.cuny.edu and we'll dig in.

About this tool

Who is this for?

  • A reporter tracking a beat — get relevant stories delivered instead of searching
  • An editor monitoring a topic area — spot patterns and emerging stories early
  • A researcher following a policy area — automated monitoring without manual searching
  • Anyone who wants a curated digest instead of a news firehose

Takes about 5 minutes. At the end you'll get a ready-to-use workflow for make.com and a setup guide. Once it's running, you'll be able to customize it further and build more automations on your own.

Privacy: Your topics and role are sent to AI to design your digest. Your email is never sent to AI — it stays in the files you download.
