The aggregated content is later reviewed and analyzed to produce a Media Monitor Report. The Reports organize media coverage by source, region or topic and provide a synopsis of its main public diplomacy implications.CPD Media Monitors do not intend to assess or comment on the accuracy of media reporting but to provide a representative survey of how various media are framing the coverage of the issues under review.
