If you're looking for clarification on how the documents in your account are measured, see the article below to learn more about the ways we determine the success of a specific document/documents:
What is measured?
Circulation
The number of "hard copies" or "printed copies" that a publication has distributed during a specific time period.
Reach
Reach estimates the potential viewership of any particular article based on the number of visitors to the specific source on both desktop and mobile. We show three metrics; total potential reach, desktop potential reach and mobile potential reach. This is delivered to us by our partner SimilarWeb, a leading Internet technology company that provides marketing data and analytics.
Unique Visitors (UV)
The amount of people who visit a website on desktop and mobile within a specific reporting period.
Advertising Value Equivalency (AVE)
An estimated dollar value of your media coverage during the specified time period. This is calculated using potential reach and an industry standard dollar value measurement. Find more information here.

All of the above is measured for each document within Meltwater. While it is very popular among our clients to look at the reach of a document, it is important to note that this these types of measurements are an estimate and it does not measure an exact value.
