24x7 News Alerts

Never miss a critical development again. PressMonitor.ca's 24x7 News Alerts service monitors Canada’s top newspapers, TV channels, digital media, and verified social platforms in both English and French—delivering accurate, timely updates directly to your inbox, team chat, or mobile.

Why 24x7 News Alerts Matter

In today’s information-rich economy, real-time awareness is a competitive advantage. From shifting consumer sentiment to sudden policy announcements or emerging brand crises, the window to act is small. PressMonitor.ca ensures you never miss the story that affects your business, your clients, or your stakeholders—no matter when it breaks or where it’s published.

Whether it’s a business opportunity, regulatory update, or media crisis, our automated alerts are built for Canadian organisations navigating bilingual, multi-platform landscapes.

Scope of Media Monitored

Canada's media ecosystem is both broad and bilingual. Press Monitor’s 24x7 alert system is designed to offer comprehensive, compliant, and reliable coverage from coast to coast.

Bilingual Monitoring (English & French)
Our system tracks and delivers content in both of Canada’s official languages. We handle language-specific queries so your team doesn’t have to.

Compliant Coverage Only
We monitor only sources that permit public reading or programmatic indexing—ensuring zero copyright violation. No paywall circumvention. No grey areas.

Paywall-Aware Indexing
Content behind paywalls is included only when it appears in public sitemaps, RSS feeds, or preview pages—such as headlines and metadata.

AV Channels (Public Only)
We monitor publicly available audio-visual sources, including official government streams, public broadcaster channels, online-only press briefings, and embedded interviews.

Print Media
Our coverage includes leading national dailies, provincial newspapers, business publications, and local print media where available in digital form.

Mainstream Media Social Handles
Monitors official social accounts (Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram) of legacy broadcasters, news publishers, and public sector media.

Online-Only News and Influencer Platforms
Includes newsletters, digital-only news outlets, high-authority blogs, Substack publications, and verified YouTube creators.

Translation and Content Normalisation
Content spanning different languages, formats, and platforms is standardised, tagged, and translated into your preferred language—so you can compare insights effortlessly.

Problems Solved

Too much irrelevant content
from general news aggregators that fail to separate signal from noise.

Delayed reaction
to breaking developments affecting brand, market, policy or leadership.

Siloed teams
manually checking multiple sites or social apps without a unified system.

Fragmented insights
especially when dealing with bilingual content or multi-platform sources.

Inadequate context
from headlines alone, without links, visuals, or sentiment indicators.
