The Cision Communications Cloud allows you to search for and view the news pick-up you may be getting as a result of your PR efforts and report on and analyse your coverage in various ways!

To make the Options toolbar available for Reporting, you will need to search for and find the news coverage you want to report using the News Search page. Click here to learn more about Searching for News Coverage.
