Curfewexora
Open UK newspapers on a reporter's desk

Media monitoring

We still open the paper.

Curfewexora's overnight desk reads national, regional and trade titles, watches the early bulletins, and logs digital editions as they land. You receive what ran, where it sat, and whether it is new.

The reading method
01 — Print

First editions, not the 11am web rewrite.

We take the first editions of the nationals and the main regionals as they are published. Page furniture matters: a splash is not a page-eight brief, and a boxed quote in the splash is not a mention in the diary.

Regional weeklies stay on the list. If your chief executive spoke at a chamber dinner in Macclesfield, the local title will have it on Thursday. The nationals will not.

Broadcast

Today, BBC Breakfast, Sky, Times Radio, LBC and the main regional television bulletins. We time-code the clip and note who was on the sofa.

Digital

Home pages and live blogs from 05:00. We distinguish a newsdesk write-through from a wire paste-up.

Trade

Health Service Journal, Local Government Chronicle, The Grocer, Construction News, The Stage — the titles your board actually fears.

Nations

The Herald, The National, Western Mail, Belfast Telegraph and the Welsh and Irish-language outlets that cover devolved business.

What you actually receive.

  • Overnight clip file — every item with title, outlet, page or time-code, prominence, and a two-line summary.
  • Tone mark — supportive, straight, hostile or mixed, judged by a reader, not a sentiment slider.
  • Line change — whether today's story is a rewrite of yesterday's or a new fact.
  • Spokespeople — who was quoted, and whether they were yours, a critic, or a regulator.
Overnight desk logging digital editions

Put your titles on the overnight list.

Tell us the principals, the sector, and the five titles you cannot miss. We will run a three-day trial against live papers.
