Exciting stuff - we're so lucky to continually learn from our partners @19thnews! New metrics to better reflect how journalism connects with and serves audiences are a needed innovation.
At @19thnews, we got tired of others dictating what metrics should matter to us.
So we created our own.
Enter: Total Journalism Reach!
