This user guide provides instructions for using a media monitoring tool. It explains how to set up keyword searches to track topics and monitor results. Users can choose keywords, sources to search, and frequency of email alerts. The dashboard then displays search results, including overall mentions, topics, and sentiment analysis over time. Users can filter results and share important articles. Finally, the guide describes how to create PDF reports to share weekly or monthly updates on search topics, selecting relevant articles from the dashboard.
