News mention volume assistants can track over time

Coverage intensity answers whether the press is piling onto a story or moving on. Source news volume returns structured series so assistants describe attention cycles with dates attached, separate from sentiment or Google News search clicks.

Volume and sentiment answer different questions

A brand can be heavily covered yet skew negative, or lightly covered with glowing pieces. Trends MCP splits those axes: news volume for intensity, news sentiment for tone, both defined in Data Sources.

Assistant briefing tips

Start from the user's entity string, call get_growth with 14D and 30D presets for fast-moving issues, then widen to 12M for structural shifts. Cite baseline and recent dates returned in the JSON when writing executive summaries.
