The basics

What is media monitoring?

Media monitoring is the practice of continuously tracking where your brand, products, and competitors show up across the media — then turning that coverage into numbers you can act on. Instead of a scrapbook of clippings, you get share of voice, sentiment, and media value, updated in real time. It's how communications teams prove impact, catch a crisis early, and know exactly where they stand against the competition.

How it works

Track. Measure. Act.

01

Track

We crawl thousands of sources — print, online, and social — surfacing every mention of your brand in any language.

02

Measure

Each story is scored for media value, sentiment, and share of voice automatically — no manual tagging, no spreadsheets.

03

Act

Real-time alerts, ready-made client reports, and an AI partner that answers questions about your coverage instantly.

What a platform should do

Everything media monitoring should cover

Five capabilities that turn raw coverage into intelligence.

01

Coverage across every source

Track brand mentions across print, online, and social — thousands of publications in any language or region, the moment they publish.

02

Media value (AVE)

Put a defensible number on earned coverage with a transparent five-factor AVE, so you can present PR ROI to any CFO or CMO.

03

Sentiment analysis

Every article scored positive, neutral, or negative by a model tuned for business and PR content — not generic social-media text.

04

Share of voice

Benchmark your coverage against named competitors on volume, value, and sentiment — so you see exactly where you stand.

05

Real-time alerts

A Tier-1 story, a spike in mentions, or a swing in sentiment reaches your inbox or Slack the moment it happens.

Beyond a clip count

Measure what your coverage is actually worth

A pile of clippings doesn't tell you whether you're winning. InMedia turns raw coverage into share of voice, sentiment, and media value — so a good month is measured against your competitors, not in isolation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is media monitoring?

Media monitoring is the practice of continuously tracking where and how your brand, products, and competitors are mentioned across the media — print, online, and social — and turning that coverage into metrics like share of voice, sentiment, and media value.

How is media monitoring different from social listening?

Social listening focuses on social platforms and public conversation. Media monitoring is broader: it covers earned media — news sites, print, trade press, and blogs — alongside social, and adds PR-specific measurement like AVE and share of voice.

What is AVE?

AVE (Advertising Value Equivalent) estimates what your earned coverage would have cost as paid advertising. InMedia calculates it from verified rate cards using five factors, so the number is transparent and defensible.

Does it cover regional Indian languages?

Yes. InMedia tracks and classifies coverage in 13 languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, and Bengali — with especially strong India and APAC coverage.
