US news customers turn to foreign news organisations

Wired reports how non-American news websites are seeing vast increases in traffic from readers in the US. Guardian Unlimited is given as a prime example: in January 49 per cent of GU's 1.3 million unique visitors came from the Americas. "While news websites in general saw a 3 percent increase in traffic between December 2002 and January 2003, the Guardian saw a 10 percent increase in visitors," says Nielsen/NetRatings's Richard Goosey. At the same time CNN saw a slight decrease in traffic.
