Times, P-I Web sites combine for top 10 ranking; S-R 88th

The Seattle Times and Post-Intelligencer are the only Pacific Northwest papers that score among the country’s 10 most-viewed online news publications, based on a recent survey. And they are ranked eighth only because their total online viewers were counted together.

The Newspaper Association of America produced the data, based on daily Web use on Aug. 16 of this year. The top three spots among online newspapers belonged to the New York Times, the Washington Post and USA Today.

Other Northwest papers among the top 100, based on unique visitors, were the (Portland) Oregonian, ranked 42nd; and The Spokesman-Review, ranked 88th.
