Editor & Publisher reports the Wall Street Journal had a wildly successful year in web site visits, and the New York Times slid on the web much the same as in its print circulation. The NYT disputed the findings--the only site on the list of 30 to do so.
The April 2009 report showed the NYT was one of eight to show a loss in the top 30 sites. WSJ led the other 22 showing gains and was one of only three showing a huge increase of 100% or more.
According to Nielson Online, eight of the top ten newspaper sites grew in unique visits--two dwindled.
