Description

How to scrape the web for news and adverse-media monitoring The appetite for news continues to grow, and social media platforms continue to outstrip traditional news media channels.

Web scraping is an increasingly attractive approach to gather news, but it's not without its challenges. Scraping the web for adverse-media, or negative news, further complicates the issue.

So, how can you build a comprehensive news and adverse-media monitoring capability?

Join Toby Cook from Opoint to discuss the practicalities of web-scale news scraping, and adverse-media monitoring, including:

What is a scraper and how does it work?
How are AI and AI agents enhancing scraping?
How do you balance the fear of missing critical stories against drowning in false positives and misinformation?
What are the practicalities of using the scraped search results? (e.g. Paywalls and handling results from multiple sites).

Please complete our short 5-minute survey, to inform the conversation about the monitoring of negative news. All responses are confidential, and will be reported on during this Jinfo Community session.
