MovieReviewIntelligence.com covers 52 publicatons, including newspapers, magazines, alternative weeklies and NPR. Three of the publications are Canadian (Toronto Star, Toronto Globe & Mail and Toronto Now). La Opinion, the leading Spanish-language newspaper in the U.S., is included. So is Common Sense Media, for parents. There are 12 online-only publications.
The goal is to cover all types of critics.
Several publications covered represent multiple publications because their reviews are printed in many different newspapers and alternative weeklies across the country. This includes the Associated Press (many newspapers and websites); Voice Media (many alternative weeklies); Tribune newspapers (many newspapers); the New York Times (many newspapers); and others. With all publications counted, the total number covered by this website is far greater than 52. This is taken into account in the statistical model built to analyze the reviews.
The following is a complete list of the publications and web sites covered by Movie Review Intelligence, organized by category:
