| View stories from all sources, your favorite papers or something in between |

With PressDisplay.com you can decide if you want to see the top stories from the hundreds of titles we carry or just the top stories from your favorite papers or a mix of the two.
Just look above your list of favorite newspapers for a little green slider control slider and move it from “All Sources” to “My Newspapers” 
. Notice how the stories change on the home page to reflect your selection. There are 5 positions along this control where you can set your selection.
You can also see what editors thought should be the top stories that day versus what stories actually retained the interest of readers the longest.
Just move the Readers versus Editors red slider 
to the left or right on the “Readers’ choice” and “Editors’ picks” control and watch the content change on the home page. It is interesting to see how often a story that didn’t get much attention from editors really grabbed the interest of our readers.

What is Ad Value?
Ad Value is a measure of the quality of exposure of an advertisement on any given page in a newspaper (relative to the front page of a publication). PressDisplay.com measures Ad Value through a combined score of how many readers view any given page and how much time they spend reading that page. Based on this value, advertisers can determine which pages in the newspaper could potentially yield the highest return on investment based on measured reader behavior.
What is the AdValue Map?
The AdValue Map is a feature available to professional subscribers that visually displays the Ad Value of each page of each issue in all publications on PressDisplay.com.
How do I view the Ad Value map?
When viewing a publication in newspaper page view, hover over the red & yellow page icon 
in the bottom tool bar, and select "AdValue report." The scale of Ad Value percentages will become visible, along with the shading of each page. You can browse each page individually, or click the "Show Thumbnails" link at the top right of the window 
to view the AdValue of all pages in the newspaper together. You can turn off the Ad Value map by again clicking the red & yellow page icon at the bottom . Zoom features are disabled while viewing the Ad Value Map.
Note: The thumbnail view also enables you to see basic stats such as the Median & Average reading times and the number of readers for each issue.
What do the percentages/colours mean?
The front page is measured at 100%, while all other pages are given a score and color relative to the front page. A higher percentage or darker color indicates a higher AdValue score.
