A member service of the International News Safety Institute (INSI) — the news industry's coalition for journalist safety.

Agentic AI intelligence,
built for journalist safety.

Sentinel's autonomous AI agents monitor official announcements, the news cycle and the online information environment around the clock — analysing what they find and turning it into alerts and briefings that help newsrooms anticipate risk and keep reporters safe in the field.

Access is available to INSI member organisations only.

A project of the International News Safety Institute

INSI is the industry's coalition for the safety of journalists. Sentinel extends that mission into the information environment — because knowing what is coming is the first layer of protection.

Sentinel is not a commercial product. It is an INSI member service, built to extend our safety mission into the information environment.

What Sentinel does

Agentic AI: from raw signals to newsroom-ready intelligence

Continuous monitoring

AI agents collect continuously across news wires, official government sources, social platforms and public data — normalised into one shared picture, around the clock.

Analysis & enrichment

AI agents classify, geolocate and link every item to the races, actors and safety themes it touches, so editors see what matters to their beats — not a firehose.

Alerts & briefings

Threshold-based alerts and scheduled intelligence briefs delivered to your team, with sourcing you can verify — designed for fast editorial and security decisions.

Ask Sentinel

An agentic AI assistant grounded in the monitored corpus. Ask about a district, a candidate or an emerging risk and it investigates and answers with citations to the evidence base.

Built for organisations

Team workspaces with role-based access. Each organisation's beats, alerts and reporting stay its own; the shared public-source corpus benefits everyone.
