Print Media Monitoring

Stay informed with Press Monitor’s Print Media Monitoring service—offering full-text coverage from Canada’s major newspapers, regional publications, and specialty print media. Delivered early each morning, this service helps decision-makers across industries stay ahead of policy, business, and reputational developments in both English and French.

Why Print Media Monitoring?

In a media environment dominated by digital noise, the insights and credibility offered by traditional print journalism remain unmatched. Press Monitor’s Print Media Monitoring bridges this gap for Canadian organisations by providing curated, full-text news from leading print sources in a structured, bilingual, and accessible format.

Whether you need to monitor government decisions, industry developments, public sentiment, or brand visibility—across provinces and languages—Print Media Monitoring ensures your team has timely access to the information that matters most.

Scope of Media Monitored

Press Monitor’s Canadian print monitoring service is built on a robust, compliant foundation tailored to the country’s unique linguistic and media landscape:

English and French Coverage
All monitoring is conducted in Canada’s two official languages. Our system is optimised for bilingual tracking, with language-specific queries handled by our editorial and AI teams.

Public Monitoring Only
We cover only sources that permit monitoring without infringing on copyright—ensuring full compliance with Canadian intellectual property laws.

Indexed Paywalled Content
If a publication’s headlines or summaries are exposed via public sitemaps, RSS feeds, or teaser pages, those are indexed and included.

Audio-Visual Media in Public Domain
Publicly accessible broadcast transcripts, captions, and summaries from online news videos and TV are monitored when they relate to print editions.

Traditional Print Newspapers
Monitoring includes national dailies, regional papers, political weeklies, and trade journals with a print legacy.

Mainstream Media on Social Channels
Official social handles of print newsrooms are tracked to capture headlines, editorial stances, and breaking stories shared through social media.

Online-Only Editorials and Blogs
Print-first publications with digital editions, blogs by professional journalists, and magazine editorial sites are included when publicly accessible.

Translation and Format Standardisation
With content arriving in multiple languages and formats, we convert and structure all coverage into a standardised format, with optional translations into your preferred working language.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Delayed Media Access
Relying on summary digests or evening alerts delays your organisation’s ability to act on early-morning news.

Manual Media Tracking
Most teams lack the resources to manually scan dozens of national and regional newspapers each day.

Fragmented Media Sources
Canadian news is regionalised and linguistically diverse, requiring a centralised approach to gather full visibility.

Lack of Full-Text Access
Many media monitoring tools fail to deliver the full article or omit paywalled content entirely.

Disorganised Media Delivery
Without structured formatting or thematic tagging, organisations struggle to separate critical signals from media noise.

Press Monitor solves these challenges with early delivery, full-text access, thematic structuring, and bilingual support across media types.
