| Newswise Reports: Preliminary Data vs. Final Data |
| Recently, we have begun providing you with both preliminary hit counts for stories you submit, as well as, one month later, final data. We have noticed a striking difference in the two sets of information. Our findings for January are below. View Results. |
| About this Report |
| In this report, we've included information on the difference between the preliminary data and the final data we relay to you on your releases, feedback from journalists at UPI, ABC and many other media outlets, and success stories from participating institutions. We encourage your feedback (see the survey and suggestion box). It helps us to evaluate Newswise and make changes to better suit your needs. We look forward to hearing from you. |

Preliminary vs. Final Data Con't. |
Although the preliminary data give you some sense of how your release was received by subscribing journalists, the final data is more informative. This seems particularly true for news releases submitted in the latter part of the month. For these stories, the data in the preliminary report has had even less time to accumulate than stories submitted earlier in the month. For example:
We hope you will review both sets of data for your news so that you can benefit from both the early and mature information. |

Journalists Respond |
| "I read Newswise every day and consider it a valuable asset. Your
items often form the basis for news shorts I run on the Monday health
pages of the Daily News, which I edit. Thanks." --Michael Segell, New York Daily News |
| "I look at every issue. Our science writers usually use several items every day." --Will Scheltema, United Press International (UPI) |
| "I really enjoy the Newswise DailyWire. I probably pick up a story every other week off of it that I otherwise would not have had through routine means. I wish I had a better suggestion for improvement....but I find it very useful as it is!" --Melissa Wright, WSB-TV (ABC Atlanta) |
| "It's a great service and I am grateful for it. I read it every
day and use about one story per day." --Evi Eleftheriadou, Ta Nea, Greece |
