Impact in Action

The sources journalists choose to quote in their stories affect and reflect whose stories get told, how stories are told, who the news is for, and what communities are served. Source tracking shows you opportunities for improving your coverage, helps you set goals and measures your progress over time — all with the objective of building broader and deeper relationships with your communities.

“Source Matters’ value is critical to our newsroom, allowing us to hold ourselves accountable and to humanize our news sources. It helps us learn more about the people we serve, and most importantly see those we are not reaching.”

Colorado Public Radio

“Source Matters has overhauled the source audit process, bringing it into the digital era. The tool offers an array of collection methods and analytics that have helped our newsroom understand more about who we are representing in our coverage.”
