"Today's best example of AI-powered news"​

RADAR launched in 2018 as a revolutionary news agency using automation and AI to empower journalists and inform citizens.

Our ground-breaking service sees thousands of data-driven stories published across the UK every week.
We have now filed over 500,000 articles, including over 150,000 stories giving citizens key info on the impact of the Covid pandemic on their communities.

RADAR has a subscriber base across major publishers and broadcasters as well as independents and hyperlocals - over 300 news outlets in total.

We supply newsrooms with high volumes of compelling, exclusive and verifiable stories. Our stories are written by skilled human journalists, then mass localised by robots.

RADAR AI is a joint venture between Urbs Media - a tech-based content startup formed in 2015, and PA Media, the UK & Ireland's national news agency formed in 1868.
