Press Release:
Most Read News Stories of 2005 by Media and Journalists from Send2Press Announced
 "Over the past 6 years, we have provided this annual list to our clients," said Neotrope(R) founder and President, Christopher Simmons, a member of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), and ASCAP. "Last year, we began announcing the list publicly since it is fascinating to see what our colleagues in the media actually read amidst the static of so much 'news spam' hitting the wires these days."PHOTO Caption: Say hello to "GoldenPalace.com," formerly known as Terri Iligan. "This year we saw a lot of traction from stories related to podcasting, non-fiction books, offbeat eBay auctions, rap music celebrity endorsements and computer technology innovations." Simmons added, "For an interesting contrast, this year we've also included the most popular stories read by the public, which shows the preponderance of interest in sex and celebrity related topics." "Media Read" results were tabulated based on number of "reads" by the media through the Send2Press.com website in HTML, PDF, and plain-text formats; through readings on the PRNJ site (if applicable), through clipping service click-throughs from sources like CyberAlert(R), and through initial click-throughs via sources like News.Google, Lycos News, and Send2Press Newswire media opt-in and RSS click-views. Search engine clicks ("hits") were not included as these are typically public, and not media, views. This year's new "Most Read by the Public" listing included search engine clicks. * The top-20 most read newswire stories for 2005 by members of the media, in descending order of popularity (link to story included): 1.
