All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method comprising:
detecting a viewing event corresponding to a user viewing a content item;
determining, using one or more processors, a view reason associated with the viewing event, the view reason indicating how the user was notified of the content item or how the user accessed the content item;
generating, using the one or more processors, metadata describing the viewing event;
associating the metadata with the content item;
receiving a request, from a content author, to display a viewership summary of content items authored by the content author;
aggregating metadata describing viewing events associated with the content items authored by the content author; and
generating a display, via a user interface in a device, of the viewership summary, based on the aggregated metadata, the viewership summary indicating a list of one or more viewers that have viewed one or more of the content items authored by the content author within a predetermined time period, and the list identifying, for each of the viewers, a specific one of the content items viewed by the viewer, and a view reason indicating how the viewer was notified of the specific content item or how the viewer accessed the specific content item.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating comprises:
including, in the metadata, the view reason information.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the view reason identifies a content distribution channel via which the user was notified of the content item.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the view reason identifies a person followed by or connected to the user, after a content feed notifies the user of an interaction between the person and the content item.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the view reason identifies a topic followed by or connected to the user, after a content feed notifies the user of an association between the content item and the topic and notifies the user of an update to the content item.
6.
