Press Clipping Services

If you're serious about PR, you've got to have a way to keep track of press clippings. There are more than enough press clipping services out there, but which ones are the best -- and more importantly, which ones are the best for your business?

A good press clipping service is one of the gateways to an informed PR strategy.

The best press clipping service providers offer a completely customizable media monitoring experience. From broad monitoring to focused searches, they'll give you the info you need to properly evaluate your PR results.

But identifying the right press clipping service is sometimes easier said than done. Although most media monitoring companies are big on promises, it can be difficult to find one who delivers accurate results. The good news is that we've done the heavy lifting for you. Here's our short list of press clipping services that we think are worth a closer look.

NewsReal

NewsReal is a flexible press clipping service that gives its clients access to top tier headlines, news stories, and publicity releases in more than 120 business categories.
