Instantly Clean, Format, and Improve Imported Content
Spend less time fixing formatting and more time publishing great journalism.
Not every story begins inside your CMS.
Newsrooms regularly receive content from press releases, email, PDFs, Word documents, freelancers, wire services, and other sources. Unfortunately, that content often arrives with inconsistent formatting, extra spaces, odd line breaks, copied styles, or unnecessary markup.
Surf New Media’s AI Content Cleanup feature automatically cleans and standardizes imported content, helping editors prepare stories for publication in seconds.
Clean Up Imported Articles Automatically
Instead of manually fixing formatting, AI can quickly:
- Remove unnecessary spacing
- Eliminate extra line breaks
- Standardize paragraphs
- Clean copied formatting
- Remove unwanted HTML
- Correct inconsistent punctuation
- Improve readability
- Create a cleaner article layout
Your stories are ready for editing much faster.
Perfect for Everyday Newsroom Workflows
AI Content Cleanup is ideal for content imported from:
- Press releases
- Microsoft Word
- Google Docs
- PDFs
- Freelance contributors
- Government agencies
- Community organizations
- Other CMS platforms
No matter where your content comes from, AI helps prepare it for publication.
Preserve Editorial Control
AI doesn’t rewrite your reporting.
Instead, it focuses on improving presentation by cleaning formatting and making the article easier to edit.
Editors remain in complete control and can review every change before publishing.
Improve Readability
Well-formatted articles create a better experience for readers.
AI helps produce:

Small improvements add up to a much more polished final article.

- Reporting
- Editing
- Fact-checking
- Photography
- Community coverage
