Which firms got the most ink in 2013?

MFWire's hardworking data team has developed for you a new search tool that will let you query the amount of stories that were written about each fund firm.

You can search for four types of stories: media cites, which counts the number of stories written by other industry publications; press releases, which count the number of press releases published by each company; MFWire, which counts the number of MutualFundWire exclusives written for each company, and finally, SEC Filings.

The search tool can be found here.

It's important to note that only a total of 317 firms got any coverage at all this year, out of over 800 firms currently active in the industry.

But be warned, this tool only counts the number of stories published in the current calendar year. So you have until midnight tomorrow to get the full count of stories published for each firm for 2013. On January 1, the counter will go back to zero.
