Media value
Media value, also referred to as earned media value, means the estimated worth of media exposure, calculated by the cost equivalent if it had been paid for as advertising. It’s used to measure the impact and reach of media coverage, and often includes earned media like PR and organic mentions. Media value aims to give a financial perspective on visibility generated through non-paid means.
