How much a tip is worth chasing, read as a signal.
Every audience tip, read, ranked, and routed to the right reporter.
Leed is a source-safe intake desk and story-intelligence layer for newsrooms, publishers, and media networks. Your editors and reporters spend their time on the leads worth chasing, not triaging an inbox.

Brief
Story brief
What is known, checkable, and sensitive.
One organized path from audience tip to published story.
Leed sits between audience intake and editorial action, giving your whole operation one place to understand what people are telling you, and act on it.

Capture structured leads
Audience & sourcesAdd a source-safe intake flow to your owned channels. Audiences share tips, evidence, context, and contact preferences without everything dropping into a generic inbox.
ii
Structure the signal
AI-assisted triageMessy submissions become briefs with public-interest, verifiability, urgency, and source-safety context attached, plus human-review flags wherever judgement is needed.
iii
Match & route to the right desk
EditorsLeads match to reporters, beats, bureaus, or editors. Leadership sees what is moving, what is blocked, and where audience intelligence is turning into coverage.
iv
