What is All the News That’s Fit to Click : How Metrics Are Transforming the Work of Journalists about?

**From the __New York Times__ to __Gawker__, a behind-the-scenes look at how performance analytics are transforming journalism today—and how they might remake other professions tomorrow** Journalists today are inundated with data about which stories attract the most clicks, likes, comments, and shares. These metrics influence what stories are written, how news is promoted, and even which journalists get hired and fired. Do metrics make journalists more accountable to the public? Or are these data tools the contemporary equivalent of a stopwatch wielded by a factory boss, worsening newsroom working conditions and journalism quality? In __All the News That's Fit to Click__, Caitlin Petre takes readers behind the scenes at the __New York Times__, __Gawker__, and the prominent news analytics company Chartbeat to explore how performance metrics are transforming the work of journalism. Petre describes how digital metrics are a powerful but insidious new form of managerial surveillance and discipline. Real-time analytics tools are designed to win the trust and loyalty of wary journalists by mimicking key features of addictive games, including immersive displays, instant feedback, and cons
