Getting started
What is Media Events Radar?▾
It brings together the upcoming public events of a country — protests, summits, elections, ceremonies, official visits, deadlines — on one calendar, always up to date. Read more on How it works.
Where do the events come from?▾
From the country's own domestic media: news agencies, newspapers and public Telegram channels. Every event links back to its original source so you can verify it.
How reliable are the events?▾
Content is interpreted automatically, so it may contain inaccuracies. Each event carries a Confidence indicator (how reliable the date and details are), and events reported by several sources are highlighted. Always double-check against the original source.
Which countries are covered?▾
Use the country selector in the top bar to switch between the covered countries. We add new countries and sources over time — request one if it's missing.
Using the calendar
How do I open an event's details?▾
Click any event on the calendar. You'll see its date, location, participants, sources, a confidence bar, the weather for that day, and events happening "Same day, elsewhere".
Why do I only see some of the events?▾
Without an account you see a preview of the calendar. Create a to see all events, and subscribe to open unlimited event details.
Can I search or filter events?▾
Search, the "Confidence 100%" toggle and "Filter by type" are available with a subscription. Filtering by type lets you show only the categories you care about.
What is "Same day, elsewhere"?▾
Inside an event you can see what else is happening the same day in other countries — useful to spot overlaps and plan coverage. It's a subscriber feature.
Can I save events?▾
Yes — with a free account. Saved events go to your personal calendar in your account.
Email briefings
What are briefings and how do I set one up?▾
Briefings are personalised email digests of upcoming events. In your account → Briefings, pick a country, the topics you follow, the frequency (daily or weekly), and the time (and weekday for weekly). They require at least a Starter subscription — a free account alone is not enough.
When are briefings sent?▾
At the hour (and, for weekly, the day) you choose — the time is in UTC, with your local time shown next to it. You can also send yourself a test at any time.
Do briefings include updates?▾
Yes. If an event you've been notified about changes — a new date, extra details — you receive the update, so your agenda never goes stale.
Plans & account
What's free and what needs a subscription?▾

How do I subscribe or cancel?▾
