The dangers of going too broad in media monitoring

Most media monitoring tools now scrape literally millions of websites.

Only a fraction of those are media outlets that mention a particular company or its competitors. And, for the average company, only a tiny subset of *those* outlets are read by its key target audience.

More and more companies are realising it’s that inner circle that can align PR with business objectives. The rest is largely noise.

A lot of our time is now spent helping clients figure out which outlets comprise that bullseye for them.
