Cable News Website Traffic

An explanation of Quantcast and why we are using their data is here.

Fox News may win in the ratings, but cnn.com dominates online. It will be interesting to see how their recent decision to stop using Reuter’s news on their website will change their traffic. Very little, I expect.
