Burrelles

Burrelles is one of the oldest media monitoring companies in the United States, founded in 1888 as a newspaper clipping service and evolved over more than a century into a modern media monitoring and intelligence business covering print, online, broadcast, and social media. Headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey, Burrelles's extraordinary longevity in the media monitoring industry reflects both its established relationships with long-tenured corporate and agency clients and its ability to adapt from physical newspaper clippings delivered by mail to digital media monitoring delivered through online platforms and APIs. The company merged with Luce, another legacy press clipping company, to form BurrellesLuce before reverting to the Burrelles name.\n\nBurrelles offers media monitoring coverage across print newspapers and magazines, online news and blogs, broadcast television and radio, and social media, providing clients with a unified monitoring service that covers traditional media alongside digital channels. Services include custom monitoring by keyword, brand, or topic; coverage compilation and reporting; media database access for PR outreach; and human editorial services for clients who need curated coverage rather than automated alerts. The company's traditional strengths in print and broadcast monitoring distinguish it in a market increasingly dominated by digital-native monitoring platforms.\n\nBurrelles serves PR agencies, corporate communications departments, law firms tracking litigation coverage, political organizations, and government entities, particularly those with needs for print and broadcast monitoring where legacy service relationships and breadth of coverage matter. The company competes with Cision, Meltwater, and Agility PR Solutions in the full-service monitoring space, as well as with newer digital-native tools for online and social monitoring, and differentiates through its service longevity, print coverage breadth, and established customer relationships.
