Business blogging tips and news for professional bloggers

The BlogPulse 2005 Year in Review report includes a list of the top media sources referenced in blogs.  BlogPulse compiled this data by counting the number of times bloggers linked to different media sources throughout 2005.  Here are the top five:

1 . Yahoo! News
2 . BBC NEWS
3 . The New York Times
4 . CNN.com
5 . Washington Post

See the complete list of the top 25 media sources used by bloggers.

It may surprise many business bloggers to know that mainstream, "traditional" media sources remain the most-cited news sources among bloggers.  As companies increase their use of blogging to report on corporate news, they may become increasingly likely to cite each other rather than citing indrect sources like press releases and outside reports.

Perhaps 2006 will see a breakthrough as blog news sources like the Gawker or Pajamas Media networks might crack the top 25.  Time will tell.
