Understanding the Sources Tab
Regardless of the type of publication you’re interested in, Sources is the best place to check if Meltwater monitors in. Use Sources to quickly find out if specific outlets are included in Meltwater’s global content database.
In Sources you can:
Search by site name in the Search Bar or URL to see if a source is covered.
Use My Sources to create and organize custom source lists for monitoring or filtering.
Create Segments to build filters to group outlets by region, format, type, or custom needs.
Upload a bulk list of sources to check or manage at once by selecting Import a File.
