Problem
Local newsrooms face shrinking resources while needing to cover increasingly complex, data-driven stories across multiple neighborhoods. Journalists often lack the technical skills to query public datasets, and manually analyzing city data for hyperlocal reporting is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to thinner coverage and missed stories.
Solution
XTOWN Media is a no-code data journalism platform that automates the entire workflow from raw data to published story. The platform collects newsworthy data about a city, automatically sorts it by neighborhood, and provides an intuitive query interface that lets reporters ask questions in plain language. Results are instantly rendered as charts and maps, which can be published directly into the newsroom's content management system. For scale, XTOWN enables one-click generation of unique, automated stories and personalized newsletters for every neighborhood in a city, allowing newsrooms to deliver hyperlocal coverage with minimal manual effort.
