Abstract

In this article we present the Digital Reputation Indicator (DRI), an innovative methodological tool that allows evaluating and comparing the reputation of digital news media on a global scale. In use since January 2023 by SCImago Media Rankings ( scimagomedia.com ), DRI is a composite assessment and measurement instrument that weighs web metrics originating from trusted, stable, and globally accessible sources. DRI provides a resource for the qualitative comparison of digital media according to a webometric model based on its level of citation by other websites ( citationflow ), the quality of the sites that link to the media (trustflow) and the level of authority scores associated with their domain (domain rating and authority score). This article explores the reliability of this webometric approach, which overcomes the limitations of the two media measurement paradigms used up to now: the most traditional, based on audience measurement, and the most recent, oriented towards popularity in social networks. In this article we present and test the consistency of the DRI as a resource for the building of a global ranking of digital media, an instrument that we consider to be of interest to both the academic and professional communities.

数字声誉指标：全球数字媒体排名的网络计量方法

在本文中，我们介绍了数字声誉指标（DRI），这是一种创新的方法论工具，可以在全球范围内评估和比较数字新闻媒体的声誉。DRI 是 SCImago Media Rankings ( scimagomedia.com ) 自 2023 年 1 月起开始使用的一种综合评估和测量工具，用于衡量来自可信、稳定和全球可访问来源的网络指标。DRI 提供了一种资源，可根据网络计量模型对数字媒体进行定性比较，该模型基于其他网站的引用水平（引用流）、链接到媒体的网站的质量（信任流）以及与其域相关的权威分数水平（域评级和权威分数）。本文探讨了这种网络计量方法的可靠性，这种方法克服了迄今为止使用的两种媒体计量范式的局限性：一种是最传统的以受众计量为基础的范式，另一种是最新的以社交网络流行度为导向的范式。在这篇文章中，我们介绍并测试了 DRI 作为建立全球数字媒体排名的资源的一致性。
