Media Analysis and Due Diligence

Before a major announcement, acquisition, or investment, you need to know how the media will react. Not a guess. A detailed, journalist-level assessment based on decades of experience inside Britain's biggest newsrooms.

At Gold Medals Media, we work with law firms, risk management consultancies, and international organisations to provide media analysis as part of their due diligence process.

What we deliver

Our reports are written by senior journalists who understand how newsrooms operate, how stories are assigned, and how different outlets will frame the same announcement. A typical report covers:

How the story is likely to land across national, trade, and broadcast media. Which journalists and outlets will take an interest, and the angle they're likely to pursue. Where the risks are, and where the opportunities lie. Practical recommendations for timing, messaging, and managing the announcement.

Every report is tailored to your specific situation. We don't deal in generic media landscapes. We deal in names, outlets, and likely headlines.

What our clients say

"Gold Medals Media did a fantastic job. My client was delighted. They outlined all the potential pitfalls, where the story would land well, and gave us lots of advice for managing the announcement. It was extremely valuable and they are now our first pick when we need any media analysis as part of due diligence."

"We turned to Gold Medals to help us understand what the reaction would be to a foreign company's plans to invest in a major British institution. The report we received was excellent, detailing all the likely reactions from individual journalists on all the different newspapers. I would never go anywhere else for media reports now."
