We have been hard at work improving Newsdesk and this is what is coming your way!
Better Sharing with Group Dashboards.
Pre-configure and share dashboard views with the company or particular user groups, and share all the most relevant news across the company.
Add Insight to Media Coverage.
You can now add your own commentary to news articles, allowing you to give the company’s view on events and encourage employee participation.
The new comments feature can also be used to facilitate closer collaboration within teams working on media monitoring projects.
Article URLs Now in Analytics Data Export.
Newdesk’s Analytics Data Download feature now includes article URLs for even more detailed offline media analysis.
These latest enhancements will be available from next Tuesday with Newsdesk Corporate and Newsdesk Enterprise editions, at no additional cost.
To take advantage of the new features or if you have any questions, just contact your Client Services Representative.

We had our usual Newsdesk bi-weekly point release yesterday, here’s the summary…
- We’ve added user-level usage info to the new Admin section, showing nr of saved feeds / dashboard widgets / exported feeds / email alerts / newsletters
- Broadcast clips now show on a newly designed, much nicer looking page, with transcript text next to the clip. You can search US and UK broadcast alongside any other media type such as online news, blogs, social media or PDF print.
Newsdesk broadcast clip example
- On internal systems, we’ve extended premium content permissioning options down to user level (previously were at global account level), meaning specific users within an organization can receive licensed premium content while other users just access the standard search.
- Searching over blogs now includes blog comments where available (you can exclude them via the Refine panel)
- Various cosmetic improvements:
- The relevancy slider now sits at the top of the Refine panel
- The search result counts now show large numbers with commas (or dots depending on country)
- We trimmed the little button cluster at the top of the Refine panel section so it’s cleaner
- The row heights in the email / newsletter / email manager lists are now nicely uniform
- You can now add a Yammer widget to your Dashboard showing latest colleague comments – just go to the “My Content” folder’s drop-down menu to add it (an optional feature for those with a Yammer account)
We hope you like the latest additions. If you’re not a client and want to find out more then here’s the link. Ciao for now!

Here’s an update on the latest feature enhancements from yesterday’s Newsdesk point release.
Content is indeed king in the world of media intelligence (as indeed Bill Gates mused in 1996), so we put some of our attention this sprint on helping customers see exactly which sources we cover and how we rank them.
Here’s the full summary:
- A brand new “Coverage” section: A whole new area devoted to showing clients exactly which sources we index, and how we classify them, adding context to media analytics and giving confidence that we have key media covered. We’ll be building this out in the coming weeks to add more info and global harvesting stats.
Moreover Newsdesk Source Detail
- Yammer and Twitter integration: Now you can post links to Yammer, the enterprise social network service. You can also Tweet articles.

- Spanish helpfile: The helpfile is now available in Spanish, completing the Spanish user interface we released two weeks ago.
- A new Usage Stats section: We’ve also introduced a new stats section for Newsdesk admin users. Now you can see login activity across the account, view active users, and help get a gauge on ROI.
We hope you like the latest installment. If you’re not a client and want to find out more then here’s the link. Talk to you again in two weeks time!
