Check out the impact just nine quotes attributed to an artist, just 228 words, can have, which of course is less than half the words on some press releases. These nine quotes with 69 media outlet placements, multiplied by the readership, spotlight just one micro-sample of Ms. Emin’s media power. How many millions of readers saw these little media interventions?

But with a rough, conservative estimate of 25,000 press cuttings to date, another question at ADP is: can Tracey Emin ever overtake Damien Hirst—who has a very conservative estimate of 37,500 cuttings? Yes, when combined and multiplied by the readership, this total number could have resulted in over a billion "page views". But how many millions of readers—and how many billion page views—is a question we leave for future art+communications researchers...

For now however, we offer you a little window into media coverage, Emin & Co.-style, via an estimated 69/25000 or 0.28% to date. What you see below is actually far less of a percentage when taking into account the column inches of the diversified publicity outputs.
