News alert is a service that monitors the web for new content, such as news articles, blog posts or updated scientific research, containing the keywords you choose. It then notifies you when new results are published, often via email. News alert is a popular feature for businesses, allowing them to track their mentions in the media.

Whether you’re a PR professional or simply an individual with an interest in current events, news alert can be a powerful tool to help you stay up-to-date. However, it’s important to set up your alerts correctly to avoid being flooded with irrelevant content.

To use the service, click the “create an alert” button and enter your search term. You can filter your search by language, country and source to narrow down the results. You can also add additional keywords to refine your search, as well as select how often you want to receive notifications.

When you’re creating a news alert, try to include the “who, what, when, where and why” of an event. This will pique the interest of reporters and encourage them to cover your story.

Depending on your needs, you can also set up social media monitoring alerts to gain early warning of industry developments and competitors’ activities. Combine this with news alerts to have a comprehensive information awareness solution for business. For example, Pluggo’s social listening tools can provide the social and business intelligence you need to understand your audience and respond quickly to any issues or misunderstandings.
