Here on the Blog Herald, I've talked about how to set up RSS feeds for search terms for your clients, etc. and I've also talked about PR professionals not understanding social media on the whole because no one is teaching them. And it won't take 5 minutes each day - it might for some clients, but certainly not for all. PR people are expected to know everything that's out there being said about their clients, and there are ways to get a lot of that information delivered to them via RSS, but it's naive to think there is a way to get it all - there is no "answer".

Subscribe to as many blogs as you can find, combine them with subscriptions to the RSS feeds that come out of Google News, Yahoo News and Google Blog Search. Monitor these for, say, a month or so, sharing/starring the posts that you think are particularly interesting. It'll take five minutes each day, at the end of which you'll have a good cross-section of relevant posts. Then simply go through them and work out which blogs consistenly come up with what you're looking for.
