“Everything clicks for a different reason”: Why journalism analytics are so hard to interpretRecommended on the NPA Slack
Caitlin Petre, an assistant professor of journalism and media studies at Rutgers University, studies the social processes behind the digital datasets and algorithms that increasingly govern the contemporary world. In this article, she looks at how the movie "Moneyball" gave way to the Big Data era, "in which new sources of analytics were supposed to provide strategic advantages for any organization savvy enough to leverage them." From 2011-2015, she conducted a mix of in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation at Chartbeat, Gawker, and The New York Times to understand how newsroom metrics are changing the way journalists practice journalism.
