OpenWatch for Newsrooms

Verify and break Nigerian security stories first.

Real-time incident alerts and a verified source trail for the stories your newsroom is chasing, so you can publish faster and stand behind every word.

The problem
01

Security incidents surface across dozens of scattered sources; piecing them together costs hours.

02

By the time a story is verified, a competitor has already published it.

03

Editors need a defensible source trail before anything goes to print.
