  • {{time_period}}: Indicate the time frame for the analysis (e.g., last month, past quarter).
  • {{campaign_or_event}}: (Optional) Name the specific campaign, product launch, or event to focus on.

Instructions

  4. Compare the coverage against any provided benchmarks or industry standards if available.
  5. Highlight the most influential outlets or journalists shaping the narrative.

Output format Deliver a structured report with sections: Overview, Metrics Summary, Sentiment Analysis, Key Findings, and Recommendations. Use tables or bullet points where appropriate, and keep the tone professional and concise.

Guardrails
