In this article, we describe a media monitoring system that we have developed and implemented for the Secretariat General of Communication and Secretariat General of Information in Greece (SGC-SGI). The system applies emerging technologies for audiovisual recording, speech recognition, language processing, multimedia indexing, and retrieval, all integrated into a large video and audio library that covers broadcast news and current affairs in Greek and English. It assists SGC-SGI in compiling information; annotating and analyzing news; and monitoring national, political, social, economic, cultural, and environmental issues concerning Greece in general.
