      I was constantly sad looking my stories' metrics _at the NYT_ until some very smart people helped me understand that the goal should be the RIGHT audience, not the largest one.https://twitter.com/jfagone/status/1271859631501881345 …

      Oh man. Few people are reading these stories we do about California prisons. Maybe the right people read them? I check the metrics and am always sad. This must be why so much reporting on prisons is funded by philanthropy. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Woman-s-prison-journal-State-inmate-s-daily-15334701.php …

      I am becoming one of those people who thinks we should keep metrics away from everyone until they have say through at least three hourlong seminars titled “IT’S NOT ABOUT PAGEVIEWS,” chapters 1, 2, and 3, with annual refresher courses.

      The first thing I always ask is, did it get promoted on the homescreen? Then: Where did the traffic come from, and why? Etc etc

      I am never happier than when a story succeeds without ever touching the home screen

          ~how does it compare to our departmental median~ ~how does it compare with similar stories of its kind~ ~did we have good non-traffic-oriented considerations for assigning, writing and editing it~

          Michael when this quarantine stuff is over you and I will discuss medians in person and possibly come to gentle and professional blows
