Summary
Editor's update, October 2026: 19 Oct 2026 accuracy audit: archive dates made consistent (clips from 2004, some content to 1984); removed unsourced Spanish-language monitoring.
News Exposure offers PR and communications teams comprehensive broadcast, print, and digital monitoring with human-verified analysis and professional video clipping.
News Exposure is a robust media monitoring and research service tailored for PR teams and corporate communications departments that require a high degree of broadcast and print coverage. Unlike many digital-first competitors, it specializes in capturing TV and radio mentions alongside digital news, providing a holistic view of a brand's media presence. It is particularly well-suited for organizations that need to track traditional media impact with a high level of accuracy.
The platform's primary strength is its extensive historical archive and its professional service options. Users can access a digital clip archive of TV, radio and online coverage dating back to 2004, with some HD archive content dating back to 1984, which is invaluable for long-term research. Furthermore, the availability of both DIY and managed (DFY) service levels, including human-verified reports and professional video editing, ensures that data is not only captured but also contextualized and presentation-ready.
However, the lack of transparent pricing and the potential for extra costs on advanced services may be a hurdle for organizations with fixed budgets. The comprehensive nature of the platform also suggests a learning curve, meaning users may need time to fully utilize its diverse feature set. While it excels at media tracking, those seeking deep social media engagement metrics or native software integrations may find it more specialized toward traditional PR monitoring.

FAQ
How is News Exposure scored?
News Exposure scores 2.3 out of 5 in Benchmark Grid's independent Best Media Monitoring & AI Visibility Tools benchmark. The overall figure blends capability (45%), publisher fit (40%) and cost of ownership (15%). Capability is itself a weighted average of 10 criteria; the heaviest are source coverage (14%), accuracy & relevance filtering (12%) and ai answer & llm citation tracking (12%). Vendors cannot pay for a score.
What size publisher is News Exposure built for?
News Exposure is built for mid-market publishers and enterprise publishers. That is the vendor's own stated target, and it is one of the inputs to our publisher-fit score — a platform that suits a national newsroom often carries more operational load than a small one can absorb.
What does News Exposure cost?
Custom pricing; quotes are provided based on specific monitoring needs, market reach, and reporting depth. Our cost-of-ownership score is 1.2/5, which weighs pricing transparency, entry cost, implementation cost, hidden-fee risk and ongoing cost. Ask the vendor for a written first-year figure that includes implementation before you commit.
Can News Exposure pay for a better score?
No. Scores come from our editorial review of the product's documentation, demos and public evidence. A vendor can claim this listing or request a re-review, but nothing they buy changes a score or a position.
