What is the problem you are seeing? Please describe.
Meetup.com posts register as News/Blog when they are clearly not. This allows some to simply mention their app on an event and get the Reach score of the site.

How is this problem misaligned with goals of app mining?
The News/Blog category is meant to be true publications - Meetup.com is a great site, but should be considered a website. We should fix this until Awario adjusts their algorithms to classify it differently. Until then it would be an easy exploit for Reach that isn't really the Reach we want to measure as part of Blended Awareness.

What is the explicit recommendation you’re looking to propose?
Not count Meetup.com Reach

Describe your long term considerations in proposing this change. Please include the ways you can predict this recommendation could go wrong and possible ways mitigate.
Keeping Reach a score that is hard to game and doesn't have obvious holes to exploit

Additional context
This is a simple change that makes the Awario score ever tighter.

Moving forward with this, Meetup.com articles will not be counted in Reach for the next period (December run)
