Politics, economic collapse, and baseball
23 October 2008The top 30 newspaper Web sites for September finds that politics, the financial meltdown and baseball helped boost the amount of visitors to newspaper Web sites, according to the latest data from Nielsen Online. All in the top 30 experienced double-digit increases in September monthly uniques with the exception of Village Voice Media (down 13% to 17 million). The Los Angeles Times was up 102%, Wall Street Journal up 94%, USA Today was up 33%, Boston Globe up 122%, Chicago Tribune up 46%. And the Web site of the Anchorage Daily News zoomed up to make it in the list of top 30 online newspapers–the Web site enjoyed a 928% spike in September, no doubt due to the paper’s coverage of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
