Press Mention Spreadsheet Template

Your Press Mention database at a glance

This template centralizes your PR tracking by linking published coverage, media outlets, journalists, and internal team owners in a clean, unified workspace.

Instead of juggling disjointed records, your coverage links directly to publication profiles, journalist relationship histories, and assigned PR managers.

Built-in AI fields automatically research outlet categories, pull journalist bios from the web, extract article titles, and analyze sentiment from article URLs.

When PR tracking tabs multiply and URLs lose their context

A typical press tracking spreadsheet starts simple, but soon fractures into duplicate monthly tabs, outdated journalist lists, and broken links across different files.

What a structured database changes

Spreadsheets treat every entry as disposable text, which leads to messy columns, missing reach metrics, and lost outreach history across shared sheets.

A structured database gives you typed fields for dates, URLs, logos, and sentiment tags, while linking articles natively to specific journalists and publications.

This is exactly what Softr Databases are designed for, keeping your PR pipeline organized and accurate as coverage scales.

What you can do with this template

Log press mentions instantly while letting Database AI agents summarize content, score sentiment, and extract article titles directly from public URLs.

Maintain living profiles for journalists and media outlets with reach estimates, contact details, and assigned relationship owners in one connected view.

Filter coverage by sentiment, monitor publication reach over time, and keep your entire PR team aligned without manual data cleanup.
