A bit of an off-beat OT today. The Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism just released a study showing the considerable influence of center-right aggregator - and friend of NB - the Drudge Report. According to Pew, "Drudge Report drove more links than Facebook or Twitter on all the sites to which it drove traffic." Check out the infographic below the break, which shows just how much traffic some of the major news sites derive from so-called "Drudge hits," and let give us your thoughts in the comments.
Drudge's continued influence over online newsgathering seems to be a case study in the ability of the center-right movement to hold at least some sway over the news media via technology and the Web. Is that the trend you see at play here? Let us know what you think below.
