Media Analysis

PLCOM provides media analyses tailored to the unique needs of our clientele. We are able to evaluate the strategic effects of Canadian media coverage and to assess the media's impact relative to the communications objectives of large corporations, government agencies, lobby firms, as well as commercial, professional and trade associations. Independently conceived our analyses are always penetrating, often disturbing and aim to pinpoint the strategic message and tactical nuances for an effective media relations program.

Our appraisal of the media improves your understanding of an issue or product's public perception and is designed to be the foundation of a powerful and effective communications plan.

A daily report evaluates the treatment of your interests in the major daily newspapers and electronic media. It is provides policy makers and communications strategists the general presence and tone of media coverage.

A weekly or bi-monthly analysis will uncover the ways in which your interests have been portrayed over time. The analysis will route out and measure media trends and inclinations. The report will heighten the effectiveness of your communications strategy, and empirically constructed graphical representations will quickly divulge your strategic communications path.

A monthly analysis presents a detailed evaluation of the media's perception of your interests. It presents the major concerns and attitudes of the media, and can detect subtle trends and relationships in the media that can only be seen over longer periods of time. The monthly report offers an in-depth and calculable evaluation of a stakeholder's position in the media.
