Online Media Cultist

Web producer, writer, online media cultist. That's how I roll.

Top online news destination: MSNBC

Stumbled across some interesting data (via Lost Remote) running down the top 30 “Online Current Events & Global News Destinations for July 2008.”

MSNBC rolls in as the top destination, with Yahoo! News coming in at a close second. CNN, AOL, and the New York Times round out the top 5, with Google News sitting at the number ten spot.

I was particularly drawn to these numbers in light of the story I just published a little while ago sketching out the weirdness around Fox News Channel’s decision to expand its presence on Facebook. Fox News Digital Network falls in at #9 on the list, so perhaps it is attempting to get more aggressive, even if it means neglecting the social networking bigwig (MySpace) that’s owned by parent company News Corporation.
