Advertising Value Equivalency (AVE) uses an equivalent rate paid for advertising in any given media type (i.e. Print, Online, Radio, and TV) to value earned media/news content.
The calculation can take into account the overall size or length of media and compares this to a similar item of media (i.e. an ad) in Print, Online, or broadcast (radio or TV). AVE data is sourced directly from publishers, broadcasters’ media item rate cards, and from third-party aggregators of this data.
