The Cision Social Media Dashboard is a self-service, online portal for PR professionals. Powered by Radian6 technology, it monitors public content on over 100 million blogs, tens of thousands of online forums, over 20,000 online media sources, over 450 rich media sites, and top micromedia and social media sites. Its analysis and reporting tools enable PR people and corporate decision-makers to understand the true impact of social media activity.

It was selected as Best Social Media Aggregation Service in the 25th annual CODiE Awards, the only peer-reviewed awards program in the software industry.
