Capabilities
What the Report Writer does
Create stakeholder-ready media reports from existing monitoring data. Feed clippings, CSV/exported mentions, transcripts or spreadsheets and get: short executive digests, narrative trend analysis, quote mapping, recommended talking points and export-ready one-pagers or slide outlines. Reports include an audit-ready source list for verification and downstream review.
- Turn lists of clips into a 3-line executive digest plus a 250–400 word narrative of coverage trends.
- Produce campaign impact narratives tying earned media to campaign goals and recommended KPIs.
- Generate crisis incident briefs with timelines, emerging narratives, holding statements and 24–48 hour action checklists.

Pre-built prompts
Templates & prompt recipes
Choose a template and the report writer applies a prompt recipe specific to that workflow. Each template accepts structured inputs and returns an editable draft plus a source table.
Executive coverage summary
Input: list of 10–20 clips with date, outlet and URL. Output: 3-line digest, 250–400 word narrative, one key quote per outlet and four leadership talking points.
- Use for daily leadership briefings or investor updates.
- Includes citation-ready mapping from quotes back to clips.
Weekly press roundup
Input: CSV of mentions with sentiment and reach. Output: one-page roundup with top headlines, share-of-voice snapshot and suggested social amplifications.
- Optimized for client reporting and agency deliverables.
Crisis incident brief
Input: chronological mentions and transcripts. Output: incident timeline, top narratives, immediate media risks, holding statement and 24–48 hour checklist.
- Produces a short action plan suitable for rapid executive review.
Audit-ready source list
Input: raw clip metadata. Output: machine-readable table (timestamp, author/anchor, outlet, URL, quoted text) for compliance and verification.
- Designed to export as CSV or spreadsheet for legal review.
Delivery options
Tone, channels and export formats
Convert one coverage set into multiple channel-ready outputs using tone presets and channel-specific formatting.
- Tone presets: neutral executive, press-forward, social-first, or legal-safe (checklist provided, not legal advice).
- Export options: one-page PDFs, slide outlines, email-ready summaries and CSV source tables.
- Generate short, mid and long pitch emails from a press release and target outlet list.
Workflow
Collaboration and approvals
Work in a collaborative draft mode that preserves edits and reviewer notes. The report writer highlights unresolved comments and auto-generates an approvals checklist for PR, legal and leadership.
- Editable sections and inline reviewer notes to reduce back-and-forth
- Approval checklist surfaces pending legal or executive sign-offs
- Rerun past reports with updated inputs to produce comparison narratives
Auditable sources
Security & verification practices
Reports include a source table that lists clip metadata and timestamps to support verification. Use exported CSVs alongside your internal audit practices to trace quotes to original media.
- Maps quotes back to original clip URLs and timestamps where available
- Includes author/anchor and outlet metadata when present in the source export
FAQ
How does the report writer preserve and show original sources for verification?
Every generated report includes a source table extracted from your input files. For each clip we list available metadata — date, outlet, author/anchor, timestamp (if provided), URL and the quoted passage. That table exports as CSV or spreadsheet so teams can link items back to the original clip for audit and verification.
Can I generate executive summaries directly from CSV exports of a clipping service?
Yes. Upload a clipping CSV (date, outlet, URL, optional sentiment/reach) and choose the Executive coverage summary template. The tool produces a short digest, a 250–400 word narrative of trends, a key quote per outlet and recommended talking points.
What export formats are supported for presenting reports to leadership or clients?
Reports can be exported as PDF one-pagers, slide outlines for presentation tools, email-ready summaries (copy you can paste into an outreach client) and CSVs for the audit-ready source list.
How do I adapt the same coverage into a press statement, internal memo, and social post?
Select a tone and channel preset when you run a report. The system will synthesize the same coverage into tailored outputs (press-forward statement, internal memo with recommended talking points, and three social post drafts) while preserving the same source citations.
Can the report writer handle broadcast or podcast transcripts and map quotes to timestamps?
Yes. Import transcripts (plain text or SRT). The tool identifies quoted passages and retains timestamp mappings so quotes in the report point back to the exact place in the transcript when timestamps are present.
How are reviewer edits and approvals tracked in a shared report?
Use the collaborative draft mode to add reviewer notes and inline comments. The report writer highlights unresolved items, generates an approvals checklist, and produces a revised draft that incorporates reviewer edits on demand.
Does the tool support multilingual or cross-market coverage summaries?
Yes. For multilingual coverage, provide translated snippets or original-language headlines and choose the 'Multilingual coverage digest' template. The output summarizes cross-market narratives, flags divergences and produces a single-sheet multilingual executive summary.
How do I ensure legal and compliance get the sections they need without delaying delivery?
Include the legal review checklist prompt when you run a report. The report writer inserts a dedicated section for legal with flagged passages and suggested review items; this accelerates handoffs but does not replace formal legal clearance.
What minimal input is required to produce a usable media impact report?
A short list of clips (date, outlet, URL) or a clipping CSV with basic metadata is enough for an executive summary or one-page roundup. Campaign impact reports work best with a campaign timeline plus engagement metrics, but a basic narrative can be created from coverage lists alone.
Can I rerun a past report with updated data to compare coverage over time?
Yes. Re-run a template with new inputs to produce an updated narrative and request a comparison outline that highlights changes in volume, sentiment and key narratives between runs.
