The most important answers to your questions

The press database covers all of the daily press in the German-speaking area and also includes many international titles. A list of all publications available for your press review can be found in our press review media panel.

In the press review portal, you can enter various search terms as a search, save them and modify or expand them yourself at any time. This “Saved search” can then be run again at any time or used for alerts (hit notifications). You can link the search terms using connecting words (operators) such as AND or OR. You can also define the exact media in which each storable search is to be performed.

A saved search provides enough space to set up your search topic with multiple search terms, phrases and alternative spellings. The maximum number of characters is limited but generous. How many search terms you can use depends on the length of your words and how many operators you use. You may change and add to your search terms independently at any time without extra charge.

The readership describes a fixed group of readers who receive your press review. This could be, for example, all employees or the management level of your organisation. With several readership groups, you serve different groups of people (distribution groups) within your organisation. For example, one circle includes the communications department, another the management and a third the employees at another location. The article prices for a number of readers from 1 to 10 are identical. For more readers, the prices increase as the number grows. In our
media panel for press reviews you can have the prices calculated for each reader.

That depends on the selected service package (Basic € 75 | Comfort € 125 | Professional € 225). In each case, the basic monthly fee is fully offset against the costs for purchased articles.

No, this is not permitted. The use of text and data mining or artificial intelligence applications is only permitted after prior licensing. Such use on the legal basis of Section 44b German Copyright Act (UrhG) is ruled out, as both the newspaper and magazine publishers and PMG expressly reserve the right to use the entire content offered by them for commercial text and data mining within the meaning of Section 44b German Copyright Act (UrhG), in particular for the use of artificial intelligence applications.
