Not Just Election Week
Your Monitoring Isn’t Broken. It’s Scattered.
Most teams already watch the media. They just do it in five places at once and each one reaches them at a different moment. A story moves fastest in the gaps between them.
Each one is fine on its own. None of them is a single, continuous view.
Media Watcher is a monitoring layer for public news and open social conversation. It is not a voter database, an advertising platform, or a persuasion tool and it works exactly the same way for anyone on any side of a race.
One View Of The Conversation
Catch A Claim Before It Becomes The Conversation
The first version of a story is rarely the final one. A debate clip becomes a post, the post gets picked up by an outlet, the outlet becomes another round of social conversation. Media Watcher follows that movement end to end.
Every relevant mention, in one place
Track your campaign across a broad range of news sources and get election news alerts the moment new mentions appear. From national coverage to local reporting, this is election coverage monitoring built to help your team spot stories that might otherwise take hours to surface. The goal isn't more alerts it's earlier visibility.
See the conversation as it happens
Media Watcher is one of the political media monitoring tools built specifically for campaigns, tracking mentions across platforms including X, Facebook, Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube. See what people are posting, what is being picked up, and where the conversation is starting to move because a story doesn't stop at the article.
Know when the tone is changing
Media Watcher's sentiment analysis gives your team voter sentiment analysis and political sentiment monitoring on the conversation positive, negative, or neutral. Sentiment is analyzed at the passage level, so one negative section in an otherwise fair article doesn't automatically define the entire story. That makes it easier to tell a genuine change in tone from one loud post.
The decision stays with your team
Media Watcher shows you the news, the social conversation, and the signals connecting them. Your team decides what to do respond to a claim, call a reporter, change the message, or decide the story isn't worth engaging. Media Watcher doesn't make that decision for you. It gives you better information to make it.
Built For The People Watching The Campaign
The Same Story Lands Differently On Every Desk.
A clip starts moving at 8:41. Whether that’s a rapid-response trigger, a line in a client briefing, or evidence you’ll need time-stamped depends entirely on which seat you’re in. Media Watcher is built for all five.
Campaign communications teams
You need to know about a mention before it reaches the candidate campaign media monitoring that catches stories before a reporter calls.
- Candidate and opponent mentions as they land
- Local broadcast, news, podcasts and social
- Debate-day narratives and reputational flashpoints
Political consultancies & public-affairs agencies
You need one monitoring layer that works across every client account, and reporting you can send without rebuilding it by hand.
- A separate dashboard per client, one workspace
- Scheduled reports your account team can send
- Role-based access for multiple team members
PACs & advocacy groups
PAC media monitoring and advocacy media tracking across a dozen channels at once your issue in one view, not five tabs.
- Issue narratives and policy-news momentum
- Spokespeople and opposing claims
- Executive summaries on a set schedule
Party & caucus communications teams
You need to catch a narrative shift across national and regional media without buying a CRM or a voter file to do it.
- National plus priority-region coverage
- 80+ languages, 235+ regions
- Historical context to judge what’s actually new
Election-law & crisis advisers
When you advise a client, you need the record: what was said, where, and exactly when.
- Mention-level detail, time-stamped
- Custom source selection and historical access
- A reliable alert path for response coordination
Whichever seat you’re in, the lens points both ways. The same monitoring you run on your own side runs on theirs, their coverage, their social conversation, their emerging narratives, tracked with the same intensity.

From the teams using it
The Morning It Mattered.
Three moments where knowing early changed what happened next.
“A clip from a county event went up at 8:40. We knew at 8:42. We had a statement drafted by 9:15 and gave it to the regional desk before they ran the story. A cycle ago we’d have found out when the reporter called us for comment.”
“Friday mornings used to be four client reports built by hand. Now they build themselves and I spend that time telling clients what it means instead of assembling it.”
“Our issue was moving in three local markets before anything national touched it. That’s the week that matters and it’s the week we used to miss completely.”
