***** Synthesis made with the help of a monitoring flow provided by the team NewsVibe Romania, based on several online monitoring software. The ranking of viral links is measured based on the number of interactions generated on Facebook by topics from the Romanian online press. Virality is measured by the cumulative number of likes, comments, and shares obtained by various links over the course of a day. 

We can observe, every time, that the virality of a link is not directly proportional to the overall impact of an online source. Often, links from local sources or niche pages can obtain significantly more interactions than traditional media sources.
