Inside Suru
The Workspace
Easily capture and manage stories
Ready-to-publish nudges, capture in one tap, every story tracked.
Interviews
Get sources on the record
Pick a template, tailor the questions, send a single-use link. Verified responses land straight in your draft.
Journo Check
Automated editorial integrity check
Every draft scored before publish — sourcing, neutrality, and verifiability flagged inline, the way an editor would mark up a galley proof.
The draft is factually consistent but lacks attribution and requires confirmation of the date and location.
Editorial charter
Rules of the road that matter
Every publisher signs the Suru Editorial Charter — modelled on NYT, Guardian, and Reuters practice. A framework, not a rulebook.

You cover a borough, a city, or a neighbourhood. You have no dev team, no editorial support, and no time to become a digital marketing expert. Suru handles everything else.
Get Started FreeThe hyperlocal founder
Left a regional paper to start their own coverage of the borough they grew up in. Needs a platform that matches their editorial standards.
The neighbourhood insider
Attends every council meeting, knows every local business owner. Has the stories but not the tools. Suru is the missing piece.
The local media builder
Running a small editorial team across a city. Wants subscriber revenue, the efficiency of Suru, and a credibility framework readers can trust.
