Do analytics help the Times better serve readers, or do they just make us obsessed with pageviews? Our reporters’ and editors’ news judgment remains the driving force behind the decisions we make for story promotion and distribution. If the story is important, we get it out in front of our readers through prominent home screen placement, push alerts, social media posts and more. Editors are some of our best analytics consumers. Social media editors follow the conversation and find the best moments to showcase our journalism.
