Summary

A key component of MLA’s corporate affairs and communications strategy is engaging with a diverse group of stakeholders through the media – including print, broadcast, social media and online – covering rural, regional and metro media. Regular media monitoring and reporting is a crucial component of MLA’s media outreach, this allows MLA to track volume of media coverage, understand how MLA is being portrayed in the media, respond to emerging trends, and identify issues that may have reputational impact for MLA.

Beyond MLA, there is also a key requirement to track media coverage and sentiment towards the red meat and livestock industry – in particular around important themes such as environment, alternative plant-based proteins/fake meat, animal health and welfare, nutrition, market access and innovation.
