EMV

Metric

EMV stands for Earned Media Value. EMV is dependent on four factors namely:

  • Media Reach: It is the circulation numbers for print, viewership for Broadcast, and Unique Visitors per Month (UVPM) for Online News. For more information on reach, refer to Reach Metrics for Listening.

  • Word Count: The number of words, or the length of the article.

  • Ad Rate: Cost to place an ad in a certain publication based on the amount of space the ad will take up. This is based on estimates or actual cost that is updated quarterly.

  • Source Rank: Editorial ranks that are applied to news sources. It is a source-level categorization with 5 levels – International, National, and business news sources

    • Regional sources

    • Industry-specific or top organization media releases

    • Local sources

    • Non-news sources such as message boards

If any of the above is not available for a particular domain, the value is estimated as zero.

To fetch data from TV

  • In order to fetch data from TV, you need to create a Topic with TV as its source.

  • While creating or editing your Topic, click the Apply Filters tab, and select TV in the Traditional Sources.

  • You can also select Source: TV from the dashboard/widget filter.

TV as a source does not fall under the Source verification process as this is controlled by the data vendor. The coverage list is a part of a package that is defined by the data vendor, and is updated once a year.

To backfill data from TV

  • Once the Topic is created/ updated, you can backfill the topic going far back to Quarter 3 of 2017.
