Current Events are search sets that have been created by our information professionals to help you track the progress of major issues affecting Canada. Current Events topics will change to reflect currently relevant subjects. Topics will be added and removed as issues arise and are resolved.

To begin, click Current Events under the Media Monitoring category on the left side of the screen. The Current Events summary page will list all active Current Events categories, with the first two articles from each topic shown. The total number of hits on a topic for the day being viewed is listed at the right side of the line on which the topic's title is given. Click the hit count to view all hits for that topic, for the current day.

There is a 14-day archive available for each Current Event. To view the news for a different day, use the drop-down date box in the upper right area of the page. You may add articles from Current Events to your Clipboard, or display them in a variety of formats, by checking off the appropriate boxes for all articles of interest and using the Selected Items menu.

You can have a summary of Current Events results emailed to you daily by selecting the appropriate checkboxes on the Preferences screen.
