Track the sources and voices that matter—with Source Lists

Ever felt the need during a crisis or campaign launch to have all the sources you want to monitor in one place—almost like a preset you can return to with the press of a button, without having to apply the same filters again and again? 

Source lists give you exactly that—a way to organise the important sources you want to monitor into a list that’s ready whenever you need it. 

Source Lists brings the media outlets, social media accounts, organisations, and public figures that matter to you into focused, reusable lists. Think of it as a traditional media list, made considerably more powerful. 

How can different teams use Source Lists?

For communications and public relations teams, Source Lists can help: 

📣 See who picked up your campaign — track coverage from priority publications, accounts, and voices around a campaign or announcement.  

🔍 Spot who you may be missing — identify important sources that haven’t covered your story and uncover potential coverage gaps.  

📂 Organise sources into groups — create separate lists for campaigns, markets, topics, or stakeholder groups.  

📊 Benchmark performance over time — compare coverage and understand how performance develops across campaigns or monitoring periods.  

For research and OSINT teams, source lists can help: 

👥 Keep track of sources of interest — monitor the publicly available online activity of selected individuals, organisations, or groups.  

📰 See their latest activity in one place — follow relevant posts and coverage from the sources you are monitoring.  

🔎 Filter and analyse activity — narrow the results from selected sources and identify patterns in their activity.  

🔔 Receive alerts for new activity — stay informed when new activity is detected from the sources you are monitoring. 
  

Whether you’re measuring campaign coverage or monitoring sources of interest, source lists help you focus your analysis on the people, accounts, and outlets that matter most—so you can spend less time going back and forth setting up your monitoring and more time understanding what’s happening and making informed decisions.
