# Scrape News Articles for Media Monitoring

Staying on top of news coverage is critical for PR teams, brand managers, and competitive intelligence analysts. Traditional media monitoring services are expensive and often miss niche publications or industry-specific outlets. Web scraping gives you direct access to news content from any source, on your terms.

ToolRouter's search_web skill finds relevant news articles across the web based on your search terms, while scrape_page extracts the full article content, publication date, author, and source information. This combination lets you build a custom media monitoring pipeline that tracks mentions of your brand, competitors, industry keywords, or any topic you care about.

PR teams use this to track coverage after press releases. Brand managers monitor for reputation threats. Competitive intelligence teams track competitor announcements. Investors monitor news for portfolio companies. The structured data feeds into dashboards, alerts, and reports that keep stakeholders informed in real-time.
