Introduction
This sample document demonstrates
the main features of the new Media
Analysis Report that integrates
social media with traditional media
analysis.
iSentia delivers strategic insights across all media.
Our expert analysts, extensive media monitoring of
coverage, and internationally recognised research
methodologies intersect to deliver high quality media
intelligence and insight.
iSentia Media Analysis Reports use the CARMA®
methodology, which provides information on the
favourability of media coverage measured in terms of
its positioning, prominence, messages communicated
and other key variables. This in-depth analysis is
recommended where a thorough understanding of the
likely impact and effects of media coverage is
required.
It should be noted that:
All data used for the charts and tables in this
document is for demonstration purposes only, and
is not specific to any client or industry.
Media content to be analysed can be sourced by
iSentia or supplied by the client commissioning the
report. Please contact your Account Management
team for monitoring and content sourcing
requirements.
The charts and tables in this report are
representative of the diverse media intelligence
options that iSentia can produce.
Charts, tables and other aspects of analysis
reports can be customised for each report.
For a more detailed description of the CARMA®
methodology, see page 21.

Executive Summary
Key Findings
This section provides a short summary of the key
points uncovered in the analysis, and is usually
one or two pages long.
Table 1
KEY METRICS
TOTAL VOLUME OF MEDIA REPORTS*
It discusses not only the highlights of the current
period’s coverage, but can also compare findings
to the previous period (if applicable) and any
conclusions drawn from the analysis.
The executive summary can also highlight any
particular finding of interest as required.
AVERAGE FAVOURABILITY
The discussion in this section will vary depending
on the coverage analysed over each report period.
In ongoing analysis, this and all following sections
may include some discussion of major changes in
a company’s coverage between the current
analysis period and the previous one(s).
The table to the right shows key aspects of the current
analysis period’s coverage. These can reflect a
client’s interests and be adapted to reflect areas of
particular interest. The table can also compare data
from the current and previous periods.

The chart above shows a breakdown of the main focus of media reports in press,
internet and broadcast media coverage. Similar breakdowns are possible for other
areas of the analysis, as well as separate discussion in the text of each area of
coverage.
The “story focus” is the main focus or theme of each media report. Each has
only one story focus, but may discuss multiple issues or topics.
The different themes can be broken down into general areas, such as
“corporate” and “products”, or into specific areas of interest to the client, like its
different business divisions – such as “funds management”, “insurance”, and
“real estate”.

Analysis by iSentia tracks specific issues or topics which are referred to in media
coverage. Each is counted once per media report, but one report will usually
discuss many different issues, which may or may not be directly related to the
“story focus”. For example, a report discussing a company’s financial results may
mention its products in passing.
The favourability breakdown shown in these charts is that of the media reports as a
whole, as is the average rating. Therefore, a topic that is mentioned in a media
report that is unfavourable overall may not have been discussed negatively itself:
the average rating is affected by the tone of the report overall.

The topics tracked in the analysis can be more general – such as “employees”,
“growth”, “strategy”, “corporate social responsibility”, “sponsorship” – or specific –
such as a client’s products in each business division. These are usually product
types such as “credit cards”, “mortgages”, “insurance”, but the names of specific
products can also be tracked. This can give an indication of whether the media is
discussing the company in general terms, or, for example, if the specific company’s
product launches or initiatives are receiving exposure in the media.
The charts above are examples of issues in the “corporate” and “products”
categories. It is often useful to break down issues that are relevant to different
business areas, particularly when a company’s activities are fairly diverse.

It is advisable to track both general messages and
a company’s key corporate and marketing
messages to provide a more complete image of
the company’s portrayal in the media. General
messages can include “customer-focused”,
“leading company”, “good corporate citizen”; while
key messages can be adapted from the company’s
communication strategy.

UNFAVOURABLE
The messages to be tracked are set up prior to the
analysis, so that the research is consistent. These
messages can be changed over successive
analysis reports as an organisation’s requirements
change. However, some consistency is required to
follow the trend of a message or set of messages
over a significant period of time.

iSentia’s media analysis captures the details of
company spokespeople who are quoted or cited in the
coverage, as well as any other commentators on the
company (such as analysts, government
representatives, or members of interest groups).

The “bias” of the spokespeople is also captured: their
comments are categorised as favourable,
unfavourable or neutral towards the company.
The average favourability rating shown in the charts is
that of the media reports in which the spokesperson is
cited – not that of the spokesperson. This can often be
an interesting indicator of the effectiveness of
company spokespeople, since if they successfully
promote the company’s viewpoint and messages, this
coverage is usually more favourable.

This chart shows the top bylines or journalists (by
volume) who wrote articles or compered broadcast
reports that mentioned the client over the analysis
period, a breakdown of their favourable, neutral and
unfavourable reports, and the average favourability of
their coverage.
The favourability of coverage from key journalists
can be a good indicator of whether a company’s
key messages are being taken up by journalists or
the outlets they work for. This chart can also be
used to find journalists to target with additional
information about the company or its products.

Methodology
Best Practice Media Analysis
The media analysis methodology used by iSentia has
a systematic approach to turn media content into
meaningful data. This approach analyses media
content both quantitatively and qualitatively.
iSentia uses the CARMA® media content analysis
methodology, which is internationally recognised as
one of the leading commercial systems available.
CARMA® (Computer Aided Research and Media
Analysis) uses advanced technology to quantify media
content, and human intelligence to provide qualitative
insight and analysis.
iSentia uses the CARMA® methodology to
qualitatively analyse media coverage by taking into
account multiple variables. These include the:
> Placement of media reports (front page or lead
item in broadcast media and websites);
> Positioning of organisation discussion (headline,
prominent mentions, passing mentions);
An aggregate score is calculated based on these
multiple variables and presented on a 0–100 scale
where 50 is neutral. This is an overall rating of the
favourability of each media report towards the client
organisation (and, if relevant, other organisations or
competitors). This aggregate score is called the
CARMA® Favourability Rating.
The average favourability is the aggregated rating of
the media coverage analysed. This can identify the
potential impact of media reporting, and can be used
to identify trends and establish benchmarks for future
data.
The criteria for analysis (such as topics and specific
key messages) are set up uniquely for each individual
client by a team of media analysis experts. These
experts bring their industry knowledge to identify
key issues and attitudes that appear in the media,
answer clients’ key questions, and, where relevant,
provide recommendations for further action.
The consistency of analysis is ensured in three key
ways:
> Most of the variables analysed are objective
criteria (such as media name, positioning, sources’
names);
> The somewhat more subjective topics and
messages are identified by either exact phrasing or
acceptable alternatives, provided to researchers
before analysis begins; and
> iSentia uses multiple researchers on projects to
minimise individual subjectivity.
Average Favourability Explained
> Image (photos, illustrations, charts, cartoons, or
the image content of video);
> Topics discussed in the media and their relative
importance to the client organisation;
> Messages, both favourable and unfavourable,
communicated in media reports;
> Sources quoted (both organisation representatives
and other individuals who make relevant
comments in the media); and
> Tone of content (extreme language, adjectives and
adverbs, metaphors or similes and other figures of
speech).
