Product · News Media app
Multilingual research for the desk — you run it.
Invite-only access for journalists and newsrooms: structured, source-backed research in the language you need — then scripts, decks, and carousels when the story moves to air or screen.
Why desks use it
Built for deadline reality — not chat theatre.
Faster path to a usable brief
Move from a blank page to a structured research pack — overview, facts, angles, and next steps — while the story is still moving.
Sources you can actually check
Claims come with URLs and dates where available, so editors and lawyers can follow the trail — not guess where a chatbot invented a fact.
Work across languages
UI, queries, and outputs in seven languages, including cross-language workflows (research in one language, brief in another).
Research that travels downstream
Hand the same sourced material into scripts, briefing decks, and carousels without retyping the story from scratch.
Standout capability
Built for desks that don’t live in one language.
UI, research queries, and outputs work across seven languages today — including cross-language workflows (e.g. research in Arabic, brief in English, or the reverse). That matters for regional coverage, diaspora audiences, and newsrooms spanning Europe and the Middle East.

Who it’s for
People who ship stories under pressure.
Freelance correspondents
A research assistant in the laptop when you don’t have a desk behind you — briefings, timelines, and interview prep before the call.
Small digital newsrooms
Structured packs that help a lean team stay citeable under deadline without a dedicated research unit.
Multilingual EU & Middle East desks
Coverage that spans Arabic and European languages — including diaspora and cross-border stories English-only tools miss.
Sample output

Public-topic examples — illustrative only; editorial judgment stays with the desk.
Desk workflow
From research to air or screen — same story package.
Contentra isn’t only a research chat. Once the briefing is solid, push it into the formats your desk already needs — in the content language you choose.
- 01
Research
Choose the task, set language and rigor, run a source-backed pack you can save and revisit.
- 02
Scripts
Turn the briefing into speakable bulletin or presenter copy with duration discipline.
- 03
Presentation
Build a short briefing deck from the same research when editors or partners need slides.
- 04
Carousel
Shape social or explainers from the story package without starting from a blank canvas.
Research tasks you can run
Pick the shape that matches the assignment — each one is built for a real desk moment.
Story briefing
Walk into the editorial huddle with overview, key facts, angles, risks, and next reporting steps already drafted.
Key facts with sources
Lock the verifiable points early — with attribution and confidence notes — before the narrative hardens.
Timeline & stakeholders
See what happened when, and who matters — actors, interests, and relationships — without rebuilding the chronology by hand.
Interview prep & opposing views
Arrive with sharp questions and a fair map of competing perspectives, not a half-finished notepad.
Source packs & fact checks
Tighten the file when the desk needs a second pass — curated sources or claim-level examination.
Not a done-for-you service
News Media is a self-serve product. Your team logs in, chooses the research task, and works in the app. If you need Contentra to produce competitive briefings for a SaaS or tech team, that’s Competitive Intelligence.
Contentra assists research; editorial judgment, legal review, and on-the-ground verification remain with the journalist and the newsroom.
