"…uncovers crucial and paradoxical differences in how American and French #journalists understand #audienceanalytics and how these affect the news produced in each country. American journalists routinely disregard traffic numbers and primarily rely on the opinion of their peers to define journalistic quality. Meanwhile, French journalists fixate on internet traffic and view these numbers as a sign of their resonance in the public sphere. Christin offers cultural and historical explanations for these disparities, arguing that distinct journalistic traditions structure how journalists make sense of digital measurements in the two countries.

Contrary to the popular belief that analytics and #algorithms are globally #homogenizing forces, #MetricsatWork shows that computational technologies can have surprisingly divergent ramifications for work and organizations worldwide."
