Dashboards: Top Viewed Journalists
In the past, you may have used the Unique Visitors Per Month (UVPM) metric to assess the potential reach of journalists to determine if you should pitch a story to them. However, UVPM measures an entire outlet’s reach in one month, which does not tell you that specific journalist’s engagement or views.
Now, with the Top Viewed Journalists widget, you’ll be able to see which journalists contribute the highest Verified Views, allowing you to make better decisions on who to build relationships with! You can also easily view traditional online readership metrics for a journalist from media monitoring and compare to the Verified Views metric provided by Cision Impact.
You will be able to view which journalists are driving the most engagement of a selected search, see the articles they wrote to drive that engagement and learn more about the journalist through information surfaced through Cision Connect (if you have Cision Connect as part of your subscription).
Note: If you are looking for information on using the Analytics Dashboards that are also available on the Next Generation Cision Communications Cloud, you will want to visit this page.
