New Zealand’s Newsknife has come
out with its (fourth) annual ranking of top news websites worldwide.
The rankings are based on how well the sites do on Google News — that is, how often and how high up their stories show up on the search giant’s news aggregator.
Here’s the top dozen. The big surprise I see is that BBC News isn’t on the list.
- ABC News
- New York Times
- Reuters
- Washington Post
- Guardian Unlimited, UK
- Voice of America
- SFGate.com, California
- Bloomberg
- Times Online, UK
- International Herald Tribune
- CNN
- Christian Science Monitor
Showing up on Newsknife’s annual list is a good thing, since good
performance on Google News can be a big traffic generator for a news
site, of course. Newsknife offers some tips for news-website operators
to improve their performance on Google News here.
