Via Editor & Publisher, here is a list of the top current events and global news destination Web sites for May 2008. McClatchy is #14 out of the top 30:
1. Yahoo! News
2. MSNBC Digital Network
3. CNN Digital Network
4. AOL News
5. NYTimes.com
6. Tribune Newspapers
7. Gannett Newspapers and Newspaper Division
8. Google News
9. ABCNEWS Digital Network
10. USATODAY.com
11. Fox News Digital Network
12. CBS News Digital Network
13. washingtonpost.com
14. McClatchy Newspaper Network
15. Hearst Newspapers Digital
16. WorldNow
17. MediaNews Group Newspapers
18. Slate
19. Advance Internet
20. IB Websites
21. BBC News
22. Cox Newspapers
23. Belo Television
24. Topix
25. Boston.com
26. Gannett Broadcasting
27. TheHuffingtonPost.com
28. Associated Press
29. Belo Newspapers
30. Fox Television Stations
These ratings are hard to make sense of. Gannett comes in at #7 and #26? Fox #11 and #30? The biggest surprise is the BBC is way down at #21; I'd have pegged them in the top tier. Poor AP is way down at #28 - before the blogger boycott. And Drudge, having dropped to #39, isn't on this list
