I've had oddly interesting articles reported as well. Maybe media attention is partly necessary but not sufficient in and of itself. My idea is simply that if not a significant story for the world to hear, it makes for a slightly harder case.
Remember, it is only one of several, likely formative, indicators.

I agree that media coverage is an indication that the research has reached the common masses, but I don't think it means it is important. It means it has entertainment value. A few of my articles have gotten media coverage over the years but nothing comes close to 200+ Web, print, radio and TV stories on the Computers and Human Behavior article that Taylor Wells and I published that looked at email and voicemail for romantic communication. Interesting... yes. Important ... not so much.

my only comment on media coverage is that it can be biased by a good PR person at the university, by that I mean that a good PR
person can push out media releases and such that will get a person interviewed. As an example we have a good a PR person and I typically do a couple of interviews a month on my research or on topics of interest. A little side note is that I did over 100 interviews during the Fukushima nuclear disaster, none tied to my research but all based on my knowledge. I don't count that. On the other hand a student and I did a paper on how to identify victims of human sex trafficking using online advertising and have been interview a few times on it, this would count but I'm not sure it reflects influence but rather an interest in the topic. This is very true for IS security researchers, we have the most interesting research for media coverage....murray jennex

Dear Dennis, Bill & Manual,
I agree with Dennis that media coverage is a testimony that the
work/research has permeated to the common masses, hence it is probably valuable to society.
Manual, I hear what you say however engineering and computer science are very well established disciplines. When we started the discourse on Design Science Research, we wanted to make sure that we as IS community can distinguish what we do from pure CS or Engineering. After all the nexus of DSR comes from Herb Simon's seminal work, emphasizing design. It is obvious that certain engineering theory or hard core technical CS work will not be referenced in DSR specially in the IS context. We as a community should promote problem solving but the source of our problems comes from the intersection of technology, people and organization. That's what distinguishes us. In fact I strongly suggest all senior editors in IS to ask for "what problem did you solve?" in their journal submissions. This can strengthen our field and showing evidence of value becomes easier. DSR is meant to
do that as a research method.
Bill, you have a point. I have asked for papers since we know that journal and conference articles are peer reviewed. But you can also propose a book that you think has had influence. There are many other artifacts that have influence but without "peer" review it is difficult to weed out which is good and which is not. For example, someone may write a blog or a newspaper column that actually may be read by more IS folks than some journal papers.
But one could argue that this is his/her opinion. We live and work in a system of "peer review". So as long as your work or artifact has been evaluated by others, please go ahead and submit your nomination.
Sincerely
Samir

This is quite interesting. At the
risk of beating this to death, as
some academics do, I think one additional measure should be added:
Some
measure
of media coverage. If the media cares about it, then it seems to add
to
the
evidence of importance. It could work into your last two measures in
some way.
I have heard some of Erik Brynjolffsson's work described on NPR. I
thought
of this mainly because of a few very short news articles from two or
three
of my experiments in the past, but just look at the scale of Erik's
coverage! I did a couple of radio interviews on some local stations
and some excerpts related to a story of this new thing called the Web
on All Things Considered on NPR back in 1997 or 1998, and even that
was pretty exciting. I have also seen news reports that relate to work
by Carol Saunders as well. I'm sure many other IS professors have been
in the
news,
too.
Maybe longer into the future, we should consider measures of popular
media
like books and movies. For instance, A Beautiful Mind, a movie that
was based on Nash (2001) and, of course, recently the Theory of
Everything
(Hawking). Maybe we will see a movie about UTAUT someday,
however, having four authors make it more difficult!

Nominate papers
Well, an additional evidence on strong bias on our disclipine,
despite
the
good wishes, on design research stream: axiomatic design theory (Suh,
1990), from MIT, widely used in several engineering fields, including
software engineering, has been ignored in MIS. This is a problem. Bias
is a
strong dominant force in our discipline. This book (Suh, 1990)
qualifies totally the asked metrics but it has been missed in Design
Research in
MIS.
