  5. In the News Media Analyzer, News Media Statement data is selected by default as the data source. You can also select Audited Data which includes audited data from June 2020 and before. Under the reporting period heading, Current Reporting Period is selected by default and is the most recent data. You can also select Historical Reporting Period for data going back ten years.

  6. Now select one of the geographic reports: Distribution by Markets, Distribution by Counties, Distribution by State Totals, Distribution by ZIP Code, Designated Market Area (DMA) or Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA). You have three options to access your report: Export downloads the data into an Excel spreadsheet; View Report displays data in a window within the Analyzer and allows for further manipulation before downloading; and Modify allows you to customize the column headers and data appearing in the report.
