Context you provide
- {{crisis_scenario}}: The specific crisis you are monitoring.
- {{media_sources}}: The media outlets or social media platforms you want to monitor (e.g., Twitter, news sites, Facebook).
- {{keywords}}: Key terms or hashtags to track (e.g., company name, product name, crisis-related terms).
- {{timeframe}}: The period you want to analyze (e.g., last 24 hours, past week).
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Outline a monitoring plan that includes which sources to track, what metrics to collect (e.g., volume, sentiment, reach), and how often to report.
- Provide a framework for analyzing sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) and identifying key themes or concerns.
- Suggest how to turn insights into actionable communication strategies (e.g., addressing misinformation, amplifying positive messages).
- Recommend tools or methods for effective monitoring (e.g., social listening tools, Google Alerts).
Output format A structured analysis plan with sections for sources, metrics, sentiment analysis, and actionable insights. Use bullet points and tables where helpful. Keep it under 500 words.
