NEW YORK, NY — Today, Camayak is launching a unique partnership with Chartbeat to give campus newsrooms across the country access to better digital analytics.
Twelve college newsrooms including the University of Oregon’s Emerald Media Group, Texas Christian University’s TCU360, and California State University, Northridge’s Daily Sundial will begin to use Chartbeat tools to measure the real-time engagement of their online content.
As newsrooms across the world embrace the power of smart technology, employing the right metrics and right tools is crucial. For publications looking to produce and distribute the highest quality content, clicks and impressions are unreliable and ineffective metrics. Instead, to write better content, grow loyal audiences, and secure financial sustainability over time, the world’s most influential publishers have turned to time-based metrics.
Now, student journalists and editors from these twelve newsrooms will know what content is capturing and keeping their readership’s attention every moment of the day. In addition to their own data, each of these newsrooms will have access to the real-time data of all twelve sites, so that each can see the performance of its peer institutions.
Being able to adapt to real-time data will further support teams that are moving from a weekly assignment to a 24-hour news cycle model. As campus newsrooms look to scale their content production to keep up with their online audiences, college newsrooms expect to seize more opportunities to satisfy their students and alumni. “We know that Chartbeat will provide the kind of stats that a newsroom and a sales staff can put to great use”, says Stephen Wolgast, Director of Collegian Media at Kansas State University.
