About Signal
See what the media is actually covering.
A daily board of ranked stories, coverage lenses, and day-by-day history, so attention itself becomes readable.
A daily map of media attention
Every day, coverage forms a temporary hierarchy: some stories surge, others cool, and many split, elevated in one cohort, quiet in another. Homepages bury that pattern. Scroll feeds hide it entirely.
Signal maps daily media attention so you can see what’s rising, fading, and splitting.
How the board is built
Rank reflects cross-outlet attention and how quickly it’s changing across outlets and feeds we track. The board updates throughout the day as new snapshots land.
Open any story to see the matched coverage behind it.
How to read the board
Three surfaces. Same language every day.
- 01
Board
Stories ranked by cross-outlet attention today. Movement versus yesterday shows what’s rising, fading, or holding.
- 02
Lenses
Filter by category, bias, or outlet type. See which stories a cohort elevates, ignores, or frames differently.
- 03
Days
Step back through the cycle. Free unlocks seven days of history; Pro extends to thirty.

Built for people who track narrative
Signal is for independent journalists and anyone tired of mistaking one homepage for the whole story. If you already compare outlets by hand, Signal turns that practice into a daily board.
