WallFly for Newsrooms
Turn the government meetings you can't staff
WallFly already monitors and transcribes the council, commission, and school-board meetings your reporters can't be in. The Wire turns them into fact-checked articles in your newsroom's voice — and into a subscription your readers will pay for.

The opportunity
Local government coverage is vanishing — right when readers want it most.
Statehouses, city halls, and school boards keep making decisions, but no newsroom can put a reporter in every room. The meetings happen whether or not anyone covers them.
More rooms than reporters
No newsroom can staff every council, commission, and school board in its market, so most meetings go uncovered.
The stories sit in the transcript, unread
Hours of public testimony hold real news, but nobody has time to watch every meeting end to end.
Ads alone are a fragile base
Most local outlets have no recurring subscription line — and no easy way to stand one up.
What WallFly provides
Coverage, stories, and a subscription product — built and run for you.
Coverage you can't staff
We monitor and transcribe every city council, county commission, school board, and statehouse session in your market, around the clock.
The Wire turns meetings into stories
Our writing pipeline drafts publishable articles from each newsworthy meeting, in your newsroom's voice and house style.
Fact-checked by default
Every quote and claim is verified against the source transcript before a draft reaches your desk. Anything we can't verify is cut, not guessed.
Alerts your readers subscribe to
Real-time, email- and text-first alerts when the people, places, and issues they follow come up in a meeting.
A subscription product — your brand
Launch a co-branded government-intelligence product. You own the brand and the audience; we run signup, billing, accounts, and the app.
Syndication built in
Distribute Wire articles across your own network or partner outlets to extend reach and revenue.
How it works
From a meeting you missed to a story you can publish.
WallFly runs the pipeline; your editors stay in control of what publishes.
We cover the meeting
WallFly monitors and transcribes the government meetings across your market, 24/7.
The Wire drafts the story
Each newsworthy meeting becomes an article in your house voice, scored for newsworthiness.
Every line gets verified
Quotes and facts are checked against the transcript. Drafts that can't be verified are cut.
Your editors publish
Finished drafts land ready for review. You edit, approve, and publish under your own brand.

Newsroom questions, answered.
Who writes the articles?
WallFly's pipeline drafts them from the meeting transcript in your newsroom's voice. Your editors review and approve before anything publishes — nothing goes out automatically unless you choose to let it.
How do you keep quotes accurate?
Every quote and claim is checked against the source transcript before a draft reaches you. If something can't be verified, it's cut rather than guessed.
How does the business side work?
It's a co-branded product: you publish and promote under your brand, WallFly builds and runs the technology, and we share the subscription revenue. We'll size a plan with you — there's no software for your team to build or host.
Which meetings can you cover?
City councils, county commissions, school boards, planning and zoning boards, and state legislatures. If we don't cover a body in your market yet, we add it.
Do my reporters get access?
Yes. Your newsroom gets seats to the tool and the underlying transcripts, so your reporters can search meetings and pull their own stories.
Give your readers government coverage they can't get anywhere else.
Your brand, your audience, your editorial control — powered by WallFly's coverage and the Wire.
