PR-Dashboard media monitoring in 2026: what Compact covers and what it costs
PR-Dashboard's Media Monitoring Compact is the top pick for teams that mainly want to see how a press release was picked up. It costs 60 euros per month as an add on and shows pickup frequency and media value, developed with Media Info Groep. For full custom monitoring, partners like Media Info Groep offer tailored pricing on request.
What does media monitoring mean for a Dutch communications team?
Media monitoring means following news, social media, radio, TV, podcasts and online platforms to see what is said about an organisation, brand, sector or topic. For a team working with Dutch media, the tool must cover national newspapers, regional papers, trade magazines, radio and TV broadcasts, podcasts and online news, including articles behind a paywall. That is a direct answer to the question every PR team asks after sending a release: did journalists use it, and what is that coverage worth? The tool gives a clear report without requiring a separate login or a second contract. For more on tracking results, see monitoring press release pickup.
Which Dutch sources should a media monitoring tool cover?
A complete monitoring tool for the Netherlands must track national and regional newspapers, trade magazines, radio, TV, podcasts, online news (also behind the paywall) and social media such as LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook. Media Info Groep, the partner behind this platform's monitoring, covers all these sources. The company combines technology with human checks to keep out noise and irrelevant hits, so you see only the mentions that matter.
