New Issue Intelligence Product Enables Subscribers to Get Tomorrow's News Today

CustomScoop, a leader in online news clipping, introduces PolicyScoop, a new subscription-based service for Public Affairs professionals that allows users to monitor press releases, research papers, and other materials released by think tanks, advocacy groups, and trade associations.

Based on the same technology that powers CustomScoop's industry-leading media monitoring service, PolicyScoop tracks information posted to the web sites of more than 1,100 policy-oriented organizations. Around-the-clock searches ensure speedy delivery of that latest information to client accounts.

"PolicyScoop allows our subscribers to read tomorrow's news today and get a jump on the issues that are important to them," said Steve Bracy, CustomScoop's Executive Vice President. "With shorter and shorter news cycles, quick access to reliable issue intelligence gives our clients a valuable advantage."

With PolicyScoop, clients can access their customized reports with the latest policy news at any time. Powerful search tools enable subscribers to zero in on precisely the information they need, while eliminating any clutter. In addition, a variety of tools enable users to easily email information, save items to folders, and customize delivery of the latest news.

Subscribers to PolicyScoop may create an unlimited number of search terms to capture the publications and press releases they prefer. A low, flat monthly subscription rate allows organizations to accurately budget for the service, as there are no usage or volume charges.

PolicyScoop is available immediately as a stand-alone subscription or as an add-on to existing CustomScoop media monitoring accounts. PolicyScoop offers a 14-Day Free Trial to organizations interested in the service.
