For publishers and media Beta
An archive that stays accurate after the news cycle moves on
Thousands of articles, every one of them cited somewhere. CiteRanger finds the facts that have expired and the sources that have vanished, and shows you what each one should say now.

Evergreen pieces are the risk
The explainers, guides and rankings from three years ago still bring traffic and still get cited. They are also where the stale numbers live. Nobody on the desk is assigned to re-read them.
Reference rot is measurable
A Harvard study found that about half the links in U.S. Supreme Court opinions no longer led to the cited material. Journalism archives are not more robust than court opinions.
Corrections with the source attached
Every flagged claim comes with the current value and where it comes from, so a correction is an editorial decision and a quick edit rather than a research assignment.
How a newsroom runs it
- 1
Scan the evergreen archive
Import the sitemap or a section feed into a project. Start with the guides, explainers and rankings that still rank; breaking-news pieces rarely need it.
- 2
Route the fix list
The report groups flagged claims by article with corrected values and sources. Export as CSV to the corrections desk or PDF to the section editor.
- 3
Monitor what keeps earning
Scheduled scans with alerts on the top 100 evergreen pieces. When a statistic is superseded or a cited page disappears, the desk hears about it within the cycle.
Built for large archives
Sitemap import at scale
Thousands of URLs into one project, scanned in the background, results by email.
Source validation
Not only whether a cited page loads, but whether it still says what the article says it says.
Projects per section or brand
Keep titles and sections separate with their own schedules and alert recipients.
APIAPI access is in development. Agencies and teams that want to trigger scans from their own systems can join the early access list.
