Announcing the project

[Matt]

Hello world!

We posted the full announcement about the Attention Index on Medium:

And we got some good coverage from Journalism.co.uk:

The short version is that we’ve been developing a new method for measuring media — an algorithm that values quality and impact. We’re opening up the project with a Creative Commons license today so we can start collaborating with other orgs interested in using the data.

We're using GitHub as a place to share the data and all the work. More here:

Enjoy!
