The Continued Rise of New Media

Last year I wrote about the Rise of New Media based on this Chart of the Day from Silicon Alley Insider.

At that time I marveld that HuffPo had outpaced The Washington Post. Now it's ahead of the New York Times. This is no doubt in part due to the paywall model that NYT now uses. Note that the WSJ is way below all of these properties because of it's paid subscription model.

Doesn't mean WSJ isn't still hugely influntial. And the NYT isn't going away anytime soon. But the pattern seems pretty clear. New properties are on the rise.
