Media in general --- The challenge for diplomats today is that they may become too focused on what is in social media but online media should include also main dailies/weeklies, news programmes on TV and radio, and even local or specialist media which may have different perspectives. Of course you need proficiency in languages to follow what is being written/said but that is where cultivating contacts with journalists can be handy.
