NewsBreak is the leading local news and information platform in the United States, operated by Particle Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation founded in Silicon Valley in 2015 and launched as a mobile app in 2016. Its AI-powered platform serves more than 40 million Americans a month with local news, alerts, crime maps, weather, events and community content, connecting local users, local content creators and local businesses at scale. NewsBreak exposes two developer surfaces. The NewsBreak Advertising API (NewsBreak API for Business) lets technology companies, direct advertisers and agencies programmatically manage the NewsBreak Ads Manager: organizations and ad accounts, ad-account user roles, campaigns, ad sets with budget, bidding, inventory platforms and audience targeting, ads and creative asset upload, account spending caps, conversion tracking events, and multidimensional performance reporting. The NewsBreak MSP Monetization Reporting API serves the supply side, returning impressions, revenue, publisher net revenue and eCPM for publishers and monetization partners. NewsBreak also publishes an llms.txt that scopes AI access to its verified local-business content surface.

x-note: Deliberately NOT typed WellKnown. NewsBreak serves no /.well-known/ document on any host - the artifact is a negative
probe record (and documents that the Docusaurus docs host answers 200 with an HTML shell for every /.well-known/ path).
Claiming the canonical WellKnown type would credit a discovery surface that does not exist.

only, and claiming the canonical MCPServer type would credit NewsBreak with an agent surface it does not operate.
