We help government agencies with:

Identify misinformation & false narratives

False news is 70% more likely to be retweeted on Twitter. This finding from MIT’s study suggests we all should be second-guessing our social media feeds. Or (at least!) monitoring them so that you don’t wind up at the center of a fake news storm.

A recent fake news story claiming that Dollar General was closing all of its stores received over 75,000 shares on Facebook — and created mass customer confusion. Is your organization prepared to identify and react to these types of stories?

Monitor your reputation 

The media, influencers, podcasters, and others are talking about your organization and topics relevant to you online. But do you know who is doing the talking? Or how they are mentioning issues relevant to your organization? We can help you monitor and engage in the conversations happening around your agency.

Advanced reporting with AI and human analysis 

Where, when, and how often you’re mentioned matters. Does your current reporting protocol reflect that fact? 

We can help you measure the true impact of your media coverage and public affairs impact — minus the noise. Trust Meltwater’s analysts to deliver your daily news briefing on time and summarized with relevance to your stakeholders. 

Identify risks to your agency

You can’t always anticipate bad news. But you can discover it before it gets out of hand. We can help you be the first to know when a serious Public Affairs crisis is building around your agency.
