In the digital age, it seems like something new is breaking every second. People are constantly sharing news, resharing news articles, and creating news themselves. This constant flow of information has become the new normal, but it’s also causing some problems for journalism. One problem is that with so many sources of information, it’s hard to find a source that’s actually reporting the news. Another problem is that people tend to share more of the negative news than the positive, and it’s hard for journalists to balance this.
The democratization of news has led to a decline in trust among audiences, and this year’s 2025 Reuters Digital News Report highlights the urgent need for publishers to meet audience expectations. These expectations include news they can believe, a format that respects their attention and intelligence, and transparency. The good news is that there are ways to address these challenges. One approach is live news tracking.
With real-time news tracking, you can be notified immediately whenever a certain topic is mentioned. This way, you can receive only the news you’re interested in without having to go through each source one article at a time. You can even track specific keywords, such as “oil price change” to get a full overview of any mentions about this topic.
With Determ’s real-time news tracker, you can set up alerts for your top terms and be notified instantly when a new article is published. This allows you to stay in the loop about your industry and keep up with your competitors.
