After viewability and fraud, what’s the biggest issue in digital metrics today? Now, I know what you’re thinking: “There are other issues in digital metrics?” Humor me for a few hundred words.

One of the great joys of our Infinite Dial series is we can track items from so far back.  This year we brought back some questions about media in general that we had asked in the past.   Here’s one we didn’t show: We asked “Among the Internet, newspapers, radio and television which one is the least essential to your life?”

A majority of the U.S. population lives in incorporated places or cities, although these areas only make up a small fraction of the U.S. land area, according to a new report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

A new U.S. Census Bureau report released provides an in-depth analysis of the nation’s population looking forward to 2060, including its size and composition across age, sex, race, Hispanic origin and nativity.

With on-court talent hailing from all parts of the globe—from Argentina to Australia—it stands to reason that the NBA has one of the most culturally and racially diverse followings of all sports leagues. In fact, according to the 2014 Year in Sports Media Report, during the 2013-2014 season, multicultural audiences spent more time watching NBA games on TV compared to white viewers, with African-Americans and Asian-Americans spending the most time watching, followed by Hispanics.
