Which Papers Are the 'Bloggiest'? (link per thousand circulation (LkpC))
[Ethan Zuckerman (of Global Voices)] calculated a LkpC of 134.9 for the Christian Science Monitor. He noted, "That's more than double its nearest competitor, the New York Times, with a score of 63.08." For context, according to Zuckerman the six next "bloggiest" papers are: Washington Post (58.44), San Francisco Chronicle (38.32), Boston Globe (29.80), Seattle Post Intelligencer (18.56), New York Post (12.48), Los Angeles Times (11.21).
This method definitely needs some refinement. [...]
Zuckerman also offers a list of the "least bloggy" newspapers. Tellingly, the Wall Street Journal is among these laggards, with a puny LkpC of just 0.40. Says Zuckerman, "The Journal is notorious in the blogging community for hiding nearly all of its content behind a paid firewall. Despite the fact that it boasts the second-highest circulation of a U.S. paper (2,106,774), it's anemic in the blogosphere, with 910 links from 828 sources.
