This addition expands Critical Mention’s industry-leading content set to include millions of new sources that clients can search and be alerted in real-time. “The world is growing smaller by the day and news travels around the globe more quickly than ever before.  We see global content as a “must-have” for our clients and for that reason, we’ve made it a part of our service at no additional charge,” said Don Yount, CEO of Critical Mention.  “As the leading world-wide real-time aggregator of live television and radio content, we knew it would make sense to offer similar best-in-class capability and speed for global online news as well,” he added.

Critical Mention’s clients include public relations practitioners and marketing professionals who need to see all their online news, television and radio, and social media coverage in one fast, intuitive and easy-to-use platform. Clients use this content to spot trends, analyze, report on and refine their media relations efforts.

Vice President of Client Relations, Matt Darling, stated, “Even with the dramatically increased amount of content, clients will still have the lightning fast ad-hoc searching performance that sets Critical Mention platform apart from our competition, saving them tons of time so they can focus on important work.”
