In today’s digital world, a crisis can quickly become a public relation disaster if the corporate communications team fails to respond to deteriorating news coverage in time. However, keeping a tab on ever-growing sources of news and social media in real-time could be a daunting task. Moreover, quantifying underlying news sentiment requires specialized skills such as natural language processing (NLP) and text analysis.
