<![CDATA[Media monitoring is an important public relations activity because institutional news needs to be recorded, stored, retrieved, recapitulated, and reported periodically. At the Public Relations Section of Polrestabes Palembang, monitoring and recapitulation were still conducted manually using Microsoft Word, which made searching, grouping, and preparing reports less efficient. This study aims to design and develop an information system for structured and computerized media coverage monitoring and recapitulation. The study used a descriptive approach with a case study at the Public Relations Section of Polrestabes Palembang. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature study. Software development used the Waterfall model, covering requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The system was modeled using Unified Modeling Language (UML) and an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). Implementation used PHP, the Laravel framework, and MySQL in a localhost environment. The resulting system provides Admin and Humas staff access, authentication, news management, search and sorting, daily, monthly, and yearly recapitulation, report generation, and employee account management. The system centralizes news data and provides period-based summaries and printable reports, reducing dependence on manually prepared documents. However, the system has not yet been deployed for operational use or evaluated quantitatively. Further development should include user testing, server deployment, detailed access control, activity logging, database backup, and integration with online media sources.]]>
