Newspaper Websites Reach Record Audience In First Quarter

A Report from US

Newspaper companies drove record traffic to their websites in the first quarter of 2010, attracting an unprecedented 74.4 million unique visitors per month on average – more than one-third (37 percent) of all Internet users. This new record follows the strong audience newspapers delivered in last year’s fourth quarter, with News Paper Websites drawing an average of 72 million unique visitors per month during that period.

The findings, part of a custom analysis provided by Nielsen Online for the Newspaper Association of America, also indicated that newspaper website users generated more than 3.2 billion page views during the first quarter, spending more than 2.3 billion minutes browsing the sites.

“Newspaper publishers continue to experiment with aggressive new business models, leveraging trustworthy and robust content to attract large audiences to their digital properties month after month,” said NAA President and CEO John F. Sturm. “As the economic outlook begins to improve, our industry will continue to shape its own future with digital products and services that grow audience and offer maximum value to advertisers.”

The Nielsen Online figures follow recent data from comScore research indicating that consumers consider Local Newspaper Websites to be the most trusted source of online advertising, with ads that are perceived to be more current, credible and relevant to them. The study, Site Matters: The Value of Local Newspaper Websites, also found that consumers consider local newspaper websites the top online source for local information — ahead of the totals for all other media.

Content Source for Cosmo Bangalore

Where Do i get the content??

As a digital publisher I get asked this question all the time from perspective buyers of our Cosmo Bangalore Community Newspaper system.

There are 6 main ways to get content.

1. Professional PR sources, you will receive local content from local PR companies that are paid to distribute this content to news sources like our newspaper owners. You do not have to pay for this content and it is usually copy/paste, so it is easy to use.

2. Local subscribers, you will get event oriented information from your subscribers, local businesses, non profits, governments, groups etc… These organizations are usually hosting local events that benefit some form of group.

3. Independent writers/columnists, I ran a test one time for local independent writers to submit stories to our newspaper. I received over 100 inquiries before I had to stop the advertisement. I was overwhelmed. Suffice it to say that local independent writers are looking for exposure and are willing to submit content for free. I can explain how this works when we talk on the phone.

4. National news sources, we are setup with a dozen national news sources that publish local, regional, state and national news for you to use. Sometimes you get 1 story per day, sometimes you get 10 stories per day, it all depends on how many of these free services you sign up for and how many they have available.

5. Press releases, you will get press releases from your local business community, as a matter of fact, this is part of our marketing strategy too, which I can explain in more detail once we talk.

6. Writing, if you are a writer, you can of course write your own content, however, we don’t usually recommend this due to the volume of other content that is available for free, we would rather have you running your business than writing an article.

As part of our setup assistance we help you setup all of these sources, that is part of the package.

Publishing all of this content is as easy as 123.

1. Copy the information.
2. Paste it into the form.
3. Click the publish button.

Basically, you will have more content than you could actually publish in a one day period and all of it is free!
