What is the SCImago Media Rankings?
Media Ranking
It is the first global media map designed to discover, assess, and compare the digital development, position, and leadership of news organizations from the perspective of their web reputation. The Global Ranking of Media Web Reputation begins with an initial approach to both legacy and native digital press, serving as a media observatory on the digital ecosystem and the transformation processes within the journalism industry.
Fully open to the public, it offers a ranked list of media outlets based on a composite indicator that combines four metrics: 1.the overall quality of a website and its influence on SEO, 2. the strength and authority of the website. 3. the flow of inbound links to the site, and 4. the quality of those inbound links.
