About
Since its formation in 2011, NewsWhip has been focused on one thing — identifying the stories that the media and public care about using social engagement data. What started out as an app for media and publishers is now a state-of-the-art SaaS platform used by brands, media, agencies, and not-for-profit organizations around the world to help identify the stories they need to care about. And it’s all done in real-time


The History of NewsWhip
NewsWhip was founded by Paul Quigley and Andrew Mullaney in 2011, at the time Paul was running editorial at a newsroom where he realized that there was no easily accessible data that showed which news stories and narratives were of interest to the public. This was Paul’s a-ha moment, being able to present the stories with the most amount of momentum could be an extremely useful tool to global newsrooms.
Paul teamed up with Andrew Mullaney, and in 2013 they launched Spike, a real time dashboard enabling newsrooms to see which stories were getting traction in any keyword or topic.
Fast forward almost 10 years and Newswhip is now the fastest and only true real time media monitoring platform used by newsrooms, global brands, communications agencies and global non for profits.
