Online Newspaper Readership Continues to Rise

Nielsen//NetRatings Data Shows Nearly One in Three Web Users Visit Newspaper Web Sites; Up 3.1% in March

VIENNA, Va., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly one in three Internet users (29 percent) read an online newspaper in March 2005, representing a total audience of nearly 44 million people, according to a new report by Nielsen//NetRatings for the Newspaper Association of America. The data, which takes into account both home and work Internet usage, shows a 3.1 percent increase in unique audience in March to Newspaper Web sites, compared with the same period a year ago.
March signaled the high water mark in online newspaper readership over the past 15 months, demonstrating that online newspapers are drawing new users even as NetRatings' data shows that unique visitors to other news and information sites dropped by four percent, according to NAA.

Sports Betting Tip "Newspapers have always been among the most valued, reliable and credible information mediums available, and their success online proves that reputation translates outside the core print product," said John F. Sturm, NAA president and CEO. "In addition to the leadership position national newspapers hold online, newspapers also typically own the leading local information Internet sites in their markets. This data confirms that the use of newspaper Web sites represents one of the largest and growing single audience collectives on the Internet, and demonstrates that newspapers continue to attract readers through online brand extensions and new products," Sturm said.

Not only do newspapers reach a vast audience, as other NAA research has pointed out, these are very loyal users, connected to their local news site and to the information, including advertising that appears there. The newspaper online audience presents an enormous opportunity." Wing cited NAA's 2004 "Power Users" study with Minneapolis-based MORI Research, which demonstrates the online newspaper audience on average is younger, better educated, more likely to be employed and more diverse ethnically than the general Internet population.
