Description
Audience metrics have become ubiquitous in news organizations, but there has been little empirical research on how the data is produced or how it affects newsroom culture and journalists’ daily work. What does all this data mean for the production of news? Through a combination of observation and interviews with product managers, data scientists, reporters, bloggers, editors, and others, Petre unearths the assumptions and values that underlie audience measures, the effect of metrics on journalists’ daily work, and the ways in which metrics interact with organizational culture.
