    #MetricShift Chat: Metrics That Should Matter vs. Metrics That Matter to Publishers

    by Tim Cigelske
    February 22, 2017

    For this chat, we’re partnering with the analytics and audience insight platform Parse.ly to do a deep dive into what publishers care about — and roadblocks they face — when using metrics to make decisions.

    Parse.ly recently surveyed 270 brand, agency and publisher content professionals to reveal useful metrics, the silos of data access, and how analytics impact content they create. A full report can be found on their website.

    In our #MetricShift chat on Friday, February 24, starting at 1 p.m. ET / 12 p.m CT / 10 a.m. PT, we’ll talk with Parse.ly and editors who use the tool about the highlights and questions raised by the new publisher metrics report.

    The chat, which you can find by searching for #MetricShift on Twitter, will be moderated by Tim Cigelske, associate editor of metrics at MediaShift. Guests will include experts from Parse.ly and their partner newsrooms; Jason Alcorn, MediaShift.org metrics section editor and a local news consultant with the Democracy Fund; and more to come.
