# News Article Automation

Set up recurring article generation and publishing on any Google News topic with ease.

If you’re a news outlet or an SEO professional seeking a continuous stream of fresh, relevant content with minimal time investment, this tool is perfect for you.

### Step 1: Content Type

<figure><img src="https://2101843392-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fa6qYdwfJLCnPxoclXdj9%2Fuploads%2Fm98O8yoMDV6Y2I8rhCNQ%2FMavis-AI%20(13).png?alt=media&#x26;token=c1e7b2a9-866d-41e0-a098-141382867f52" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Begin by selecting the type of content you want to automate. In this guide, we’ll focus on automating News Articles.

### Step 2: Choose a Source Type

<figure><img src="https://2101843392-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fa6qYdwfJLCnPxoclXdj9%2Fuploads%2FbX6oDFFKnG4LfP7XpgFE%2FMavis-AI%20(14).png?alt=media&#x26;token=3c69a16a-f583-47eb-8b74-24522f13f925" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Next, decide which type of source you want to monitor:

* **Topic (Most Popular)**: Choose from an extensive list of topics. If your specific topic isn’t available, you can easily import it from Google News.
* **Publication**: Monitor news or blog posts from a specific site, provided that site has a Google News page.

### Step 3: Choose a Source

<figure><img src="https://2101843392-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fa6qYdwfJLCnPxoclXdj9%2Fuploads%2Fl2HRiE7P0PKJBcbhr8Hj%2FScreenshot_1351.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bded947e-eb3e-4868-b62f-cdda9576645a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Select a topic or publication from our extensive library to monitor and stay updated with. If you can’t find a particular topic or publication, click the "**+ Add Topic/Publication**" button in the top right corner and add the Google News token for that specific topic or publication.

{% hint style="info" %}
**How to get the topic or publication token**

The token can be found in the Google News topic’s page URL. For example, in the URL below, the topic token is highlighted:

[https://news.google.com/topics/**CAAqIggKIhxDQkFTRHdvSkwyMHZNRGxqTjNjd0VnSmxiaWdBUAE**?hl=en-US\&gl=US\&ceid=US%3Aen](https://news.google.com/topics/CAAqIggKIhxDQkFTRHdvSkwyMHZNRGxqTjNjd0VnSmxiaWdBUAE?hl=en-US\&gl=US\&ceid=US%3Aen)
{% endhint %}

### Step 4: Schedule

<figure><img src="https://2101843392-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fa6qYdwfJLCnPxoclXdj9%2Fuploads%2FaSTkjThh61QCCaflWCo5%2FMavis-AI%20(15).png?alt=media&#x26;token=fb1d553e-3187-4b6d-bfc4-d19a569be25a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Decide how often you want the automation to run, the specific times, and the number of news stories to cover in each run.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Example scenario**

Let's say you chose "Cryptocurrency" as your topic, and scheduled it in the following way:

* Timezone: Europe/London
* Start date: 8/14/2024 @8:00 AM
* End date: 8/20/2024 @ 8:00 AM
* Frequency: Daily
* Number of recent stories to cover: 3

In this case, Mavis AI would search for the latest cryptocurrency stories every day at 8:00 AM (London time) during the specified period and generate three news articles covering the three most recent trending stories.
{% endhint %}

### Step 5: Article Settings

Customize the tone of voice, language and length of your article, as well as the style of the cover image (AI generated).

Choose from 37+ tones of voice, 30 languages and two article lengths:

While all images are currently AI-generated, we will soon offer the option to automatically include real editorial images relevant to the news stories being covered. We’ll beta test this feature with a select group of users. If you’d like early access to this beta, please [get in touch](https://www.heymavis.ai/contact) and share your use case.

### Step 6: Publishing (Optional)

Before saving your new automation, you can choose to automatically publish each news article to your site as soon as it’s generated. Currently, Mavis AI supports publishing to **WordPress** and **Medium**, with more integrations coming soon.

<figure><img src="https://2101843392-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fa6qYdwfJLCnPxoclXdj9%2Fuploads%2FYOqkwS04k9UL3EOxeJxA%2FScreenshot_1357.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f6aece6a-3d96-4223-a6ca-f736fb120850" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you select "None," the articles will appear in your Mavis AI dashboard for your review, but they won’t be published to any site. You can manually publish them after reviewing.
