Reported where it happened
Local outlets cover roadblocks, kidnappings and protests that get little international attention. Their accounts help you check what happened near a site or along a route.
Commercial
Living Signals turns daily local reporting into located, sourced Signals. Filter by place to see what has been reported near your sites and in the towns your staff live in or travel through.
Built for: Security operations centres, duty-of-care and travel-risk teams, due-diligence firms and geopolitical consultancies.
Why it matters
Local outlets cover roadblocks, kidnappings and protests that get little international attention. Their accounts help you check what happened near a site or along a route.
Reports of the same incident are grouped into one Signal. Analysts see how many outlets covered it, what each one said and where their accounts differ.
For selected events we add satellite views that show the damage or change on the ground. This is in pilot today.
Use the dashboard, export to your incident platform, connect through the REST API, or ask questions from an AI assistant through MCP.
Use cases

Filter Signals to the cities and districts where you operate, and see what local outlets have reported since yesterday.
Compare reports of an incident across outlets.
When an incident comes in, see which other outlets covered it, what each one said and in which language, then follow the links to the articles.
Brief travellers on the local picture.
Build pre-travel briefings from current, sourced local reporting rather than a generic country profile.
Sourced evidence for advisory work.
Cite the local reporting behind an assessment and give clients the source links.
From the data
An armed group captured army and militia camps in central Mali after heavy fighting.
Why it matters here
The attack on Dioura is recorded as one Signal with fourteen sources in two languages, located to the town. A briefing on central Mali can cite it and link straight to the articles.
Demo data covers one month in DR Congo, Cameroon and Mali.
Prediction-ready data
In Afghanistan, only 28.5% of insurgent attacks with casualties ever reached international news (source: Weidmann, American Journal of Political Science, 2016, opens in a new tab). We turn local-language reporting into dated, located Signals your team can feed into its own risk scoring and forecasting tools.
