Over the past few months, we've made a few minor tweaks to make the dashboards easier to read. Today we're rolling out some more noticeable changes that we want to highlight for you. Starting today, you'll find some new features on the dashboard, including: Launch of the New NPR One Dashboards in Station Analytics By Christopher Doorley • Aug 12, 2019 The new NPR One dashboards - for the content you put into the NPR One iOS and Android Apps - provide you with the metrics and insights you need to make better curatorial and editorial decisions about your audio reporting and storytelling. The detailed content performance data we now have in Station Analytics is more actionable than any audio performance data we've been able to provide to you before. We are excited to get these new reports into your hands and to hear how your station puts the data to use. 3 Things You Can Learn From The NPR One Dashboards in Station Analytics By Tamar Charney & Emily Barocas • Aug 12, 2019 The new NPR One Dashboards let you access detailed metrics on each piece of audio content that you put into NPR One in a way that has never been possible with broadcast metrics. By learning to use this data you will have the tools to make better curatorial and editorial decisions for NPR One, broadcast and beyond. There are two key actionable metrics on the NPR One Dashboards: Core Publisher’s Improved Integration with the Story API By Cale Rubenstein • Jan 8, 2019 Since the introduction of the Story API launched in Core Publisher in 2011, stations have not been able to render layout content from NPR stories on their website. This means that, when publishing a national story in Core Publisher, images would appear misplaced in a slideshow instead of in the body of a story. In addition, Tweets and other embeds would not appear. In our efforts to improve the content distribution process, API stories published on Core Publisher sites will mirror the same layout from NPR.org. This means: WordPress API Plugins Updated By Erin Teare Martin & Ben Keith (INN) • Oct 23, 2018 Over the last month we have released updates to both of our API WordPress plugins. Both releases include a number of bug fixes, improved usability regarding configuring the plugin, and support for PHP 7 and WordPress 4.9. The updated versions of the plugins, along with FAQs and documentation, can be found in GitHub, WordPress.org, and via the plugin admin in WordPress sites. SAS Launches Improved Audio Downloads Measurement By Nick DePrey • Oct 16, 2018 Today, we are launching new and improved interactive reports and measurement technology for audio downloads - stations can now access the analytics that they need. Reliable and accurate measurement and analytics of audio downloads is critical to prove the value of your news, storytelling and podcasts. What we learned at BizLab this summer (WBUR) By Joan DiMicco • Oct 3, 2018 Revenue Experiments in Public Radio WBUR launched BizLab back in 2015 out of a desire to ensure public radio stays financially strong, vibrant, and relevant to our audiences. Since then, BizLab has been dedicated to identifying new markets for content, developing new partnerships with business, education and tech communities, and evaluating new membership and revenue sources. Core Publisher moves to HTTPS By Cale Rubenstein • Aug 16, 2018 Over the past two-plus years, NPR has been hard at work on an effort to secure all of our Internet communications and transactions. While this was a complex, multi-faceted effort that touched everything from our website ( www.npr.org ) to our mobile apps (NPR News and NPR One) to our API calls to our podcast, video, and stream delivery from distributed networks of producers, it was important work that set the foundation to allow us to do the same with many of the tools we provide to Member stations.
