Traffic to newspaper sites grows 10% in April

Traffic to the top 25 newspaper-based websites grew 10% from March to April, reports MediaWeek. 83.7 million unique visitors checked out a newspaper site in April. Newspaper National Network CEO Jason Klein jumped on the news – and the competion: “”When compared to the Huffington Post, newspaper sites in the top 25 markets delivered more than five times the pageviews and more than four times the unique visitors.” OK, but remember that HuffPo runs a pretty lean operation, where newspaper sites (boy, do I hate that term) have considerably more resources and higher costs.
