Abstract: The present invention includes a system and method for managing media received from a plurality of media sources. Media content is received from a media source over a communication network. The media content is formatted in a first format and comprises news and advertising material relating to a respective subject. The received media content is processed into processed content, wherein the processing includes filtering, annotating and standardizing the content. Moreover, processed content is rendered, wherein the rendering includes transforming the processed content from the first format into a second format. The processed content formatted in the second format is stored in an electronic storage repository, and, in response to a search for the processed content, the processed content is retrieved from the electronic storage repository. Further, the processed content is further transformed from the second format to a third format, and delivered in the third format to a user.

Abstract: A method for integrated media monitoring is disclosed, wherein multiple forms of media are monitored and searched according to user defined criteria. The method may be used by a business to understand how a product or service is being received by the general public. Monitoring includes analysis of closed captioning data and human monitoring so as to provide a business with a full understanding of advertising and editorial effectiveness.
