Publicly Accessible Content Only
All monitored sources are compliant with Canadian and international copyright laws. We do not access or monitor content requiring payment or special licensing.
Paywall-Aware Indexing
If paywalled content includes visible elements in sitemaps, RSS feeds, or headlines on public pages, we index and notify without breaching terms of access.
Online AV Content
Coverage includes audiovisual material that is freely accessible on the public internet—government press briefings, interviews, news shows, and relevant event recordings.
Print Media Coverage
Our system tracks Canadian print publications including national dailies, provincial weeklies, business journals, and regional newspapers.

We monitor the verified social accounts of newspapers, broadcasters, and magazine publishers across platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
Pure Online Media and Blogs
Coverage includes digital-only outlets, newsletters, vlogs, and influential blogs relevant to your industry or buyer personas.
Multiformat Transformation & Translation
As our coverage spans platforms and languages, we translate, structure, and deliver media content in a consistent, easy-to-use format. You can consume insights in either official language.
