# How to Scrape News for Monitoring with ChatGPT

ChatGPT extracts news articles and transforms them into organized media monitoring reports. It identifies key themes across publications, tracks how coverage evolves, and can generate daily or weekly briefings formatted for executives, PR teams, or investor relations. The narrative format makes raw news data immediately actionable.
