Experience and career track record were some of the factors considered by our team of about a dozen researchers.

We also assessed diversity in the field such as managerial roles and well as hosting influential and popular segments for broadcast journalists.

Social Media influence and the journalist's relevance in 2017 was also scored.

Furthermore, the quality of reporting and the impact in driving conversation in the country were also factored in the ranking process.
