Hi my name is Elizabeth and I have a "little" problem to solve :-) 

I hope that you can provide me some directions or articles to read.

I work in a newspaper. I have a table that each row has information about an article of the newspaper.

For example, each row contains article title, article introduction, article section, article number of visits and article pageviews.

I want to define a ranking of words/topics by audiences KPI's. That means, I want, for example, the top 20 topics related with better article performance.

I started by looking at Topic modeling algorithms, and using those algorithms I can have the most frequent topics in articles by section. But I can lost a topic with less frequency that provides high visits when it is in the title. So I need to relate the term frequency with audiences.

Can you provide me some help or some information/references?
