Russian Research Company Medialogia compiles ratings based on media-index, which is a quality indicator of the information field, which is formed around a company, brand or person by the media.

Unlike the indexes that simply calculate the number of media popularity of the subject, it evaluates its media reputation using such parameters as the influence of the sources, positive and negative attitudes of the newspieces, the subject’s position in the text, and use of quotations.

Using this strategy, Medialogia evaluates the overall level of well-being in the news sphere in each time span by combining the indices of all the newspieces that mention the individual.

The ratings take into account a base of over 20,000 media sources, such as television and radio stations, newspapers, journals, news agencies and websites.

The rating is calculated for October 14, 2014.
