Searchmetrics discovers America’s most tweeted newspapers!

Media January 11, 2014 by Kruti Beesam

Do you know an American’s favorite newspaper? Twitter has an answer to this question. After analyzing their popularity on Twitter, the Washington Post, New York Times, and USA Today have been identified as the most read newspapers by a study conducted by digital marketing software and services company, Searchmetrics.

Searchmetrics came to this conclusion after finding that the Washington Post drives an average of 275,193 tweets per week, followed by the New York Times with 261,422 tweets per week and USA Today with 149,960 tweets per week.

Let us now take a look at the details of this research! It was an article by USA Today posted 408,816 times during 2013 on Twitter which helped the newspaper sit on the top position.

The findings of an investigation into the life of Adam Lanza, the lone gunman who shot 26 people at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, helped the Washington Times march towards the position of the second most tweeted newspaper in the US.

Marcus Tober, CTO, and founder of Searchmetrics, identified Twitter as a powerful medium for newspapers to divert people to their content. He is confident of finding much evidence to prove his statement.
