In order to better understand the news media landscape, I have compiled a list of the audience sizes of various sources of national news.
No other website compiles data on audience sizes of news sources across as many diverse mediums. I used the most current data I could find.
Inclusion on this list is meant only to compare the sizes of the audiences of various news sources, not to comment on their accuracy or tone. You can find my analyses of those qualities in my other posts.
