For newsrooms & journalists
Never miss a story breaking at city hall
Locunity covers every meeting on your beat, flags the newsworthy moment buried in hour two, and hands you a sourced draft before you've left the parking lot.
The problem
The meetings that make news happen faster than one reporter can cover
One reporter, a hundred meetings
City council, planning, school board, county supervisors — your beat spans more public bodies than any newsroom can staff, and the story is always in the room you skipped.
The lede is buried in hour two
The vote that matters rarely happens on schedule. By the time anyone reviews the recording, the competition has already posted.
Public records, private bottleneck
Agendas, minutes, and video are technically public — but scattered across dozens of portals nobody has time to monitor every day.
Local coverage collapsed first
As newsrooms shrank, civic coverage was the first to go. The meetings that shape your community go unwatched and unreported.
How it works
From meeting to published in three steps
- 1
Set your beat
Tell Locunity the jurisdictions, issues, people, and keywords you cover. Add as many public bodies as your beat touches.
- 2
We sit through every meeting
Locunity watches and transcribes every council, commission, board, and county meeting 24/7 — and reads the agendas before they happen.
- 3
Get the story first
Receive a 5-minute briefing after every meeting and an instant alert when something newsworthy surfaces — with quotes, context, and a draft ready to file.

- Does Locunity write articles for journalists?
- Locunity produces sourced first drafts, briefings, and social posts from meeting transcripts in one click, with quotes and jump-to-video timestamps — a starting point your reporters edit and verify before publishing.
