To identify those outlets that have a large influence on the auto industry I did several searches to get lists of top web sites. I also did a Google search of blogs and compiled a list of those sites as well. After getting a comprehensive list I evaluated the sites to identify the amount of traffic that they were receiving as well as the number of comments generated for each article.
The results of the search ended up with the following:
| Cnn.com |
| nytimes.com |
| autoblog.com |
| caranddriver.com |
| jalopnik.com |
| autoobserver.com |
| cartalk.com |
| businessweek.com |
| motortrend.com |
| edmunds.com |
Some of these sites are more traditional news outlets while others are more grass roots built sites that have expanded to have a high influence in the industry.
I imagine the auto industry has a huge list of influencers on the Internet. All major news sources are sure to produce articles and even product reviews. It comes as no surprise to see blogs and sites like jalopnik on the list. They've become another major source of information and influence people significantly.
ReplyDeleteI can agree with Michael. I am sure there are more to come with this by the auto industry being so broad. Good Job G!
