So does MFN complement our existing metrics tool(s) rather than replace them?

Great question. Yes! It is a great complement to what you already have

Will there be time at the end to ask more involved questions?

yes!

which Science News?

How do you define “core audience”?

In this context

Yes MFN definitely complements real-time analytics platforms

In this case, we mean an audience segment that you import through Google Analytics

^ for core audience

So to expand on what Lindsay said, “Core audience” would look different for everyone

Gotcha, thanks!

@Enrique sciencenews.org

And it’s compatible with all analytics tools? We use Parse.ly as our main tool, but also have GA running.

For this version, we are only including Google Analytics. Parse.ly is not supported in MFN at the moment, but it will be in the future

For this particular dashboard, we are only able to connect with GA at this time

I’ll let Lindsay take the questions now ;)

Thanks

Would Metrics for News be able to help us set up Author as a customer dimension in GA?

custom*

Or any other dimensions that would be helpful ^

For this version, we won’t be setting up anything custom in GA. For the full version of MFN, we have a contractor you can work with to set up complex segments/dimensions in GA

(The full version of MFN has author dashboards and we use author types as well as a custom tag)

Those are annual fees too

Will we continue to have access to the COVID dashboard and associated data after the trial if we don’t opt to pay for Metrics for News?

Are there nonprofit discounts?

When will we be informed if we have been selected for the 4 month trial?

Do we get a single log in for our whole org or unique logins for each user? My org would likely have 2-5 users

What are the preferred analytics sources for MFN? Will it be less accurate if we don't have Adobe?

Thank you!

Thank you!

thanks
