Media Monitoring Service & Media Tracking Tools

Presswire’s media monitoring service tracks where your company, brand or press release is mentioned in print, online and broadcast media worldwide, including subscription-only websites and paywalled sources. Nearly 30,000 channels are watched around the clock for the key phrases, brand names or stock symbols you choose, and every clipping is double-checked by your account manager before you receive it.

Monitoring a single release costs $235 for up to one month of coverage after distribution; ongoing monitoring of up to two keywords, phrases, stock symbols or company names is $320 a month. Reports can be scheduled daily, every two weeks or monthly, and Presswire can retrieve articles published over the past 25 years as Word or PDF files.

What Presswire media monitoring covers

Just like our press release distribution services, this monitoring system has a lot to offer private businesses and government organisations.

Key features include:

  • Enormous monitoring capabilities. Nearly 30,000 channels (print outlets, web resources, broadcast networks, etc.) are observed 24/7 to spot mentions by key phrases, brand names or stock symbols. There are no location limits, meaning that our system monitors outlets all over the world – be it in English or Portuguese. It even covers content that often remains out of reach, such as subscription-only websites and paywalls.
  • Regular reporting. Our press clippings service helps you stay in the know about everything that relates to your company. Use this information to your advantage by setting up and scheduling regular reports. This way, you will be provided with analytics data on all your mentions: daily, fortnightly or monthly.
  • Article retrieval option. If you want to hark back to the late 1990s to research clippings from any outlet, you can rely on our newspaper monitoring service to scan everything published for the last 25 years. With Presswire, you can retrieve any news or feature article that has been published and export it in Word or PDF format.
  • Highly accurate clippings. Unlike automated news monitoring services, Presswire uses people when it comes to keeping an eye on search functionality. When utilising our system, you can rest assured that the risk of missing important articles or receiving irrelevant or duplicate clippings is minimised as all results are double-checked by your account manager before you receive them.

A Tracking Report ($95 per release) shows who opened, read and forwarded your release, with names and numbers for follow-up, in an Excel workbook. Media monitoring finds the coverage that was actually published.
