•Searchable by outlet type, outlet name, subject area, location, journalist name, type of correspondent etc.
•Regularly updated
•International - including major media outlets in other countries

Monitoring should include print, broadcast and online. Analytics should include:

•Volume and reach of coverage
Country/region (including the ability to track coverage internationally)
•Ability to link broadcast items to specific press releases or campaigns
•Inclusion/prominence of key messages
•Spokespeople quoted
•Ability to segment coverage by topic (for example, for us it might be research on engineering, science, social sciences, or broader topics such as student relations, university ratings etc.)
•AVE (we are aware of the limitations of this metric but still need it on occasion)
•Tracking selected competitors for benchmarking purposes is not an essential part of the brief but if this option is available, please outline the scope and costs for this
