Medianet offers two types of Mention Reports to help you track, compile, and share media mentions: Curated Mention Reports and Scheduled Newsletters. Both options provide flexible ways to gather and distribute relevant mentions.
Curated Mention Reports
Curated Mention Reports allow you to create a customised list of mentions from any of your searches. You can add mentions either individually or in bulk directly from the search results or in the Curated Mention Report builder.
Key features
- Dynamic preview: View your Curated Mention Report as you build it, ensuring it aligns with your requirements.
- Seamless sharing: Share the report directly via email with both registered users of your Medianet account and external recipients. Non-users can see the Newsletter content but will need to register to log in to view mentions in full.
- PDF download: Each report email includes the top five mentions, with an option to download the full report as a PDF.
Curated Mention Reports are perfect for collating media mentions on specific topics or timeframes, such as post-campaign coverage summaries, competitor analyses, or quarterly media highlights. Note: If the report is based on a Private search, it can only be emailed to you as the search owner.
Scheduled Newsletters
Scheduled Newsletters automate mention reports for one or more active searches, delivering the latest mentions on a regular schedule (e.g., daily or weekly) to keep you and your team consistently informed.
Key features
- Customisation: Control the content, frequency, and recipients of each Scheduled Newsletter.
- Automated delivery: Get regular updates with the latest mentions and trends. Recipients can be both registered users and non-users. Non-users will see the content but will be prompted to register to log in if they want to view mentions in full.
- Top mentions: Each Newsletter lists the top five most recent mentions per search. Full reports are accessible through the Medianet platform or downloadable via PDF.
Scheduled Newsletters are ideal for ongoing updates on media coverage, industry insights, or competitor monitoring. For instance, you can set up a Newsletter to deliver a summary of the past 24 hours’ media coverage every morning. Note: If a Newsletter includes any Private searches, it can only be emailed to you, the search owner.
Group Similar Mentions
Both Curated Mention Reports and Scheduled Newsletters have an optional “Group similar mentions” feature to consolidate similar media mentions. This feature, available only for online mentions, groups mentions that meet the following criteria:
- 90% similarity in headline wording or 70% similarity in body content.
- Publication within 7 days of each other.
When enabled, similarity grouping displays only the most recent article in a group, with other similar mentions referenced below it, accessible via a hyperlink. This keeps your report concise while still highlighting recurring themes.
