This is a no-brainer. We've seen our traffic shoot up recently, some of it no doubt because of election related news. But we've taken steps to diversify our news offering to prevent a post-election drop off. I think some of the bigger sites (HuffPo and definately Politico) will see substantial hits to their traffic.
- robg 18y agoI agree. It's just these election thingies are very good markers for where we're at because of how they dominate coverage. Still amazing that the internet got mentioned as a first or second choice by only one in three people. That's a tripling on 2004 but there's still a long way to go. Even among 18-29 year olds only 50% cite the internet as a primary source. Also these numbers show how much newspapers really are dying among the young. Only 17% of the 18-29 demographic cited them first or second.
