About
What EditorialIndex is
EditorialIndex is a same-day ledger of what selected newsrooms actually published: finance, technology, security, and search. Most publishers are read from public sitemaps; a few official sources use scoped sitemap paths or RSS. The desk counts every new story URL and lays the day out so you can see volume, timing, and overlap at a glance.
If you follow the news for work, the desk answers practical questions. How busy was the FT compared with Bloomberg today? Did several rooms file the same subject (Multiple publishers on the chart and overlap view)? When did a URL first show up after the published time? Which hour was busiest for a given outlet over the last ninety days? You can filter by beat, pick another calendar day, switch between your local time zone and US Eastern or Pacific, search a headline or paste a URL, and export the table.
Headlines come from the sitemap or RSS item when the feed provides them. When it does not, the desk fetches the page once for the title only. Article text is never stored. Counts follow each publisher’s sitemap; Listing changes shows lastmod noise when the feed listing moved but the article date did not. Published shows only stories whose publication date falls on that calendar day and excludes those listing-only rows; the hero links to Listing changes when any exist. First seen is when this desk first recorded the URL. The gap between filed and first seen is filing lag. Stories stay on the live desk for forty-five days, then move to an archive that search can still reach.
Vendor and central-bank sources are marked Official source in the publisher list. Their posts are not mixed into Multiple publishers clusters with trade press, so a Google or FOMC release does not look like a multi-outlet news cluster.
How the list is chosen
The default list is a closed set of thirty publishers across four beats. They are rooms specialists still cite as sources, not a popularity ranking and not every site that mentions tech or markets. Additions and removals are logged on the publisher changelog.
Finance
Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Economist, Barron’s, Nikkei Asia, CNBC, and the Federal Reserve monetary policy RSS feed. The Fed is ingested from the Board’s official monetary press RSS (not a sitemap), with a forty-five-day window so the live desk stays aligned with the archive. On the Finance beat, an FOMC release banner appears on days when the Fed files an FOMC statement or the matching economic projections release, not on minutes-only days. In the 2026 Digital News Report, the FT’s trust score is 56% in the UK; the Journal’s is 43% in the US, ahead of cable.
Technology
Ars Technica, Wired, The Verge, TechCrunch, MIT Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, The Register, 404 Media, Rest of World, Transformer, and SemiAnalysis. TechCrunch is the startup and funding desk. IEEE Spectrum is the engineering magazine. 404 Media is the small investigative room. Rest of World covers technology outside the US and Europe. Transformer is the AI newsroom edited by Shakeel Hashim (Tarbell Center). SemiAnalysis covers chips, clusters, and datacenters. OpenAI, Anthropic, and other vendor blogs stay off the desk. Several of these also cover security; their full feeds stay on this beat.
Security
Krebs on Security, The Record, CyberScoop, Schneier on Security, BleepingComputer, Dark Reading, and Risky Business. Krebs is the desk other reporters check before they publish. The Record is Recorded Future’s newsroom, run as its own desk. CyberScoop covers policy and incidents from Washington. Schneier is the essayist the field still cites. BleepingComputer is the incident wire practitioners read. Dark Reading is the enterprise magazine. Risky Business is Patrick Gray’s bulletin.
Search
Search Engine Roundtable, Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Land, and Google Search Central. The first three are English SEO trade press. Google Search Central is a vendor search product blog only (Google’s search blog section), not third-party coverage. It is ingested with locale URLs collapsed to one canonical path and a forty-five-day window from the post date in the URL so old archive and duplicate language rows do not flood the desk.
Under the hood
It prefers Google news sitemaps because they carry headlines, publication times, and recent URLs only. Where no suitable sitemap exists, it uses RSS (Federal Reserve monetary) or vendor blog sitemaps with URL prefixes so Maps, jobs, or unrelated paths are not counted. Each URL is counted once, when it first appears. Reading the desk is open, including saved watches (private to your browser). CSV export, adding or removing a publisher, and sweeping by hand require unlocking the admin desk with the site token.
Who made it
EditorialIndex was created by Elie Berreby, who heads SEO and AI Search at Adorama. For more than 20 years he has worked on technical, international and enterprise search and on how brands are cited in AI answers.
In Similarweb’s Generative AI Brand Visibility Index, Adorama was listed among the top overachievers in consumer electronics. The report applies that label when a brand’s visibility in AI responses runs well ahead of its standing in traditional branded search. Adorama’s ranking followed the AI Search program he built at the retailer.
Elie Berreby built Neural Crawl, a public platform that monitors what AI crawlers are allowed to access on the open web. It fetches and archives crawling directives for major companies and governments, logs each change, and shows which sites block or permit important user-agents (such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and others), over time. Researchers and journalists use it to see how access rules shift as AI search and training crawlers spread. He also runs SEM King, a consultancy, and Sec Armor, on threats delivered through search and advertising.
