Reston, Va. - More than half (54%) of all U.S. Internet users visited news sites during June, led by Yahoo News, MSNBC and AOL News, according to new figures released by Internet research firm comScore Media Metrix. With the exception of Yahoo, each of the sites among the top 10 have ties to traditional media outlets, the firm said. "Interestingly, five of the top 10 general news sites worldwide are operated by U.S.-based companies," said Jack Flanagan, executive vice president of comScore Media Metrix. "Yahoo News is the category leader, both domestically and worldwide, while MSNBC and CNN rank among the top five news sites in the U.S. and among the worldwide Internet population."
