Measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN), which describes the maximum global effect caused by locally invariant measurements, was introduced by Luo and Fu (Phys. Rev. Lett., 106 (2011) 120401). In this paper, a new measure of MIN based on Wigner-Yanase skew information is proposed. It is shown that this measure not only has good computability but also eliminates the noncontractivity problem appearing in the original measure of MIN defined by the Hilbert-Schmidt norm. The analytical formulas of MIN based on Wigner-Yanase skew information for any pure states, -dimensional mixed states, and some higher-dimensional symmetric states are presented. Furthermore, the tight upper bound to MIN based on Wigner-Yanase skew information in the general case is also derived.
