Hi there, Apologies for the late reply. I'm from Egypt and wanted to give you some pointers to popular news sites. This is not based on empirical research (no credible research on that exists as far as I know), but I'm working on a report for the European Union with what we think are credible sites based on Internet traffic, visits, comments, etc... These include: Daily Star Egypt http://www.dailystaregypt.com/ Al Ahram Weekly http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/ Al Jazeera http://www.aljazeera.net/portal and http://english.aljazeera.net/ Al Masry Al Youm http://www.almasry-alyoum.com/ If you're interested in informal publications or blogs, let me know. Take care. -- Rasha A.

Dear AIR-ers,
I am currently designing a cross-national comparative study based on the most popular online news sources around the world.
Does anyone know of a good source ranking the most popular news sites in different countries (other than Alexa)?
Particularly, if you are from Japan, China, Germany, France, Spain, the UK, Iran or Egypt, I would be very interested to know what are the most popular news sites in your country.
Many thanks!
