Media Channel Reporting
For partners, Foursquare Attribution supports out-of-the-box reporting by Media Channel, which offer a useful lens on campaign performance. Where applicable, these reports are found in the Channel Reports tab of your campaign's overview page, featuring:
- Media Type reports, aggregating performance across Traditional and Digital inventory types
- Media Channel reports, aggregating performance across individual channels
See Channel Coverage below for a full list of supported channels
Media Channel reports update automatically during the flight of your campaign, and include inventory across different publishers where applicable. Like other report types, they can be viewed, exported, and shared directly from the dashboard.
Important:
If you need reporting for a custom set of Media Channels, your FSQ Account Representative can continue to provide Custom Reports.
Channel Coverage
To provide the best experience—and reduce latency—Foursquare supports a pre-defined set of Media Channels for standardized reporting. If your campaign requires an alternate set of channels for reporting, your FSQ Account Representative can provide Custom Reports to supplement.

Issues with Media Channel Report Accuracy
To provide the most up-to-date reporting, Media Type and Channel are automatically assigned to campaign inventory based on several factors.
If you're concerned that your inventory is being mischaracterized, your FSQ Account Representative will be able to make adjustments.
