Twitter adds four core benefits as a new platform for users
CommunityI want to find out about things I care aboutTwitter gives me the chance to engage with stories relevant to me with a community of like-minded people. Discovering people with shared interests I wouldn’t otherwise meet through shared news interests.
Opinion I want to know what people think Twitter is a way of discovering different points of opinion and commentary on news stories. More personal opinions of celebrities/writers.

viewpoint and offer verified news in a user

people’s minds through instant updates

analysis behind 140 character Tweets
Twitter provides opportunities for users to engage with newspaper brands that they wouldn’t
normally read in other formats.
Newspaper brands offer content and recognisable brands that can bring

MethodologyWhat Are NewsWhip’s Social Rankings?Each month, NewsWhip publishes lists of the top social publishers of the previous month, covering Twitter, Facebook and sometimes LinkedIn and Pinterest.The rankings are based on the number of shares, tweets, comments and other interactions accrued to content published by each site in the relevant month.
What content is covered?For Facebook, NewsWhip combines the total number of likes, shares and comments on content published during that month alone.For Facebook, if someone on a site uses an on-site share button to share an article to their timeline, that action counts as one share. If someone copy-pastes the link directly to Facebook, that share will count in the exact same way.The rankings have nothing to do with the number of people who ‘like’ a publication’s Facebook page that month, although that may have some effect on how engaged the audience is with the content. A publisher with many “likes” has better audience access and may have access needed to drive more activity around their content.For Twitter, NewsWhip counts the total number of tweets that include links to each publisher’s articles (that includes re-tweets) from that month. Twitter favourites are not currently included.For all sites, the figures relate solely to content published during the month in question alone. Older content that continued going viral, or archived material posted without a new URL is not taken into account.
Where does the data come from?All the data comes from Spike, which monitors about 50,000 publications in 12 languages, categorising content from each one by country, topic and publisher, and gathering data on topics, authors, and videos associated with each story. Spike tracks the speed at which each story spreads on Facebook and Twitter.
