Media monitoring toolsThe GMMP developed a set of monitoring tools - in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese - to help monitors to collect the data from their countries. The monitoring materials were created by WACC and the GMMP Planning Committee and tested internationally. For the monitoring exercise that took place on 16th February 2005, the tools were completely revised and improved on the 1995 and 2000 models. Here you can find the full methodology and documents that were used to monitor media worldwide on one single day. | ||
