The Newswise Contact Directory (NCD) is an online resource by which reporters may quickly and easily find media contacts at your institution. The statistics we report below include web hits on the NCD search form, and separate counts for hits on the NCD detail pages with institutional information and contact details.
The first figure and table report hits on the NCD search form. There are
more than 1000 per month and growing. Reporters are regularly using
this mechanism to locate contacts at your institution.

This is the twenty-eighth edition of the monthly report in which you'll find:
Earlier results
A preliminary report on access counts is now provided for files you've contributed during the most recent month, in addition to a final report on your prior month's activity. This allows you to track both preliminary and longer-range access counts for your stories.
Enhanced context
Your reports are now provided within the greater context of this monthly Newswise report, which offers perspectives on your data not previously available, such as studies of how the media access and use Newswise and your stories. We also hope to utilize this "interactive" newsletter as a way of eliciting your suggestions and to acknowledge those who have contributed suggestions.
