Plan for Measuring and Evaluating Results Platform-specific analytics from Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and other social media channels will be used to track performance metrics such as views, impressions, engagement rates, watch time, audience retention, click-through rates, shares, comments, and demographic reach. These will be supplemented by PBSNorth.org’s internal analytics, which provide insight into user behavior, page visits, unique viewers, bounce rates, and time spent on page. In addition to quantitative data, qualitative feedback will be gathered through community comment sections, direct polling on social media and through PBS North’s digital platforms, and in-person or hybrid events such as Sounding Boards sessions hosted by PBS North to gather viewer input and strengthen audience connection. This blend of real-time analytics and community-driven feedback will ensure a holistic evaluation of the project’s reach, resonance, and relevance.
