HuffPost Surpasses WashPost in Unique Visitors
Jennifer Saba of Editor & Publisher reports that new numbers from Nielsen Online show The Huffington Post passing Washingtonpost.com in unique users in September.
Granted, HuffPost is a long way from challenging Yahoo! News for leadership among current events and global news web properties. Yahoo’s news site had 42.6 million unique visitors in September, while HuffPost was at No. 15 with 9.4 million uniques. Still, the liberal blog — which mixes progressive opinion pieces with aggregated news, videos and plenty of celebrity photos and coverage — draws more traffic than a number of “old media” web properties, including Hearst Newspapers Digital, the BBC and Cox Newspapers.
